Default Braking rear disc photo?

I am after a new rear disc for my curvey, so I was looking on ebay and found a Braking rear disc in the US of A. The photo added is probably not the same as the one for the SV (they say it also in the ad.), so I was wondering how it looks like. Normaly I don't care much how it looks, but I was just wondering...

Has anyone a photo of a Braking rear disc?


this is the one in the ad. (looks good, tbh)

Funnily enough, just ordered a replacement one of those from our mate.

£50 including vat.

This is the SV one.

Thanks!

I will look for prices here in Belgium. But, is there a shop in the UK that is will to send it to me, perhaps? Because that's a nice price...

I will cancel the USA disc, because it will take more than 2 weeks to get it here and the price isn't that good in comparison with yours.

Thanks for the info

If you want to send me the money for the disc and the postage I will be more than happy to get one and post it over to you.

Or.............if you use this link to E mail Mike at Robsom Racing, tell him Pete and Lissa suggested you contact him. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to send the disc to you.

This is a Galfer one:



Don't worry about the rust, just about anything'll rust after winter up here- but it lasted 2 years before it happened which is better than OEM.

Incidentally, the Bandit 1200 disc is the exact same as the curvy, might help you find a bargain.

Bit lighter... Not very much frankly, offset against the total unsprung weight of the rear assembly, but if you're building a kickass race bike it could become more relevant to you. Me, I needed a rear disc and mine cost me £35 so it made sense- the rears aren't all that expensive.
