If your disks collapse when trundling along at 95 into a corner, no warranty on earth is worth a light!

I have had standard disks on the front but they have worn think and the outer piece rattles a lot on the rivets, side to side and up and down slightly.

I have had to change them ready for the MOT because theres no way on earth my bike will pass with them disks or the pads in the state they were in.

I have got a matching disk for the back. Give me 2 mins il take a pic of the disks and pads and then upload them.

looking at these disks closer, surely your decreasing your surface for braking using these because they have huge gashes cut out of them, sure they would kee the brakes cooler but technically you would only have half the braking surface

But pressure = force/area so the area in contact has more pressure on it. Works out about the same.

I would go for OEM. Or maybe some EBC cast iron.
