Disc makers?
 

hello everyone.
Theres been alot of disc talk recently but all the sites only make discs for specific main stream bikes and wont make others.

does anyone know of any companies that could make a disc up to a specific size ( bolt hole distances ect...) as i dont fancy doing a whole front end swap on the dr just to upgrade the disc size.

thanks
Brock.

is the hub on the front wheel not standard or used accross many other bikes?

Re: Disc makers
 

Standard hub but all other dr's(98 onwards ) rmx's and early drz's have 6 bolt hub and a larger spindle.

i got the special model that nothing fits =]

my other idea if unable to get a disc made would be to use/ make some sort of adapter plate for a more common disc and just move the calliper out slightly when i make the relocation bracket.

Re: Disc makers
 

scuse the ignorance but would a new model wheel not fit or as you said do you need the front end?

or lace a new hub onto the rim? could get a talon hub and get it laced up with the current rim?

Re: Disc makers
 

new wheel wouldnt i dont believe but im sure there would be a bearing out there to make it work.

At the end of the day though id still have to buy the disc so adding a wheel or hub becomes expensive.

also talon dont list any hubs for the dr350 but have been meaning to email them about that.

could ask these guys

Re: Disc makers
 

sent them one earlier although their site says they wont make individual discs only listed ones.

Cant really find anyone on the net who would make a disc atm.

Re: Disc makers
 

I knew there was another place

Have you tried

No probleamo

Re: Disc makers
 

I bet there will be something that will fit. Otherwise it would be cheaper in long run to make an adaptor than a custom disc, adaptor is only one expense not ongoing.

Re: Disc makers
 

searched high and low. Being a 4 bolt disc and demnsions being slightly odd comapired to every other bike no one seems to make anything that isnt standard 250mm.
its going to take some thought but just looking at prices atm so i can work out the best way forward, but it wont be done until the summer.

Re: Disc makers
 

ok now ive been in contact with a company whos prices are pretty good.

but as im stepping up from a solid 250mm disc would you all think it was okay to stay with a solid disc upto 300 or 320mm or should i just go for a floating one?

Re: Disc makers
 

If you went floating you could use outer from a common one, say GSXR, and just get custom carrier. May be cheaper.

Re: Disc makers?
 

Out of interest why don't you want to use the standard disc?

Re: Disc makers?
 

Good call Dave its going to take some more calls and exact prices to make my final decision.

and im not going to use the standard because its 250mm...which is likely enough for as its going to be mostly road use i would like some more stopping power, and its an SM got to look the part
