Re: Brake rotor source?
With the British pound so low right now might be the time for a Motobins order...

Prices seem good. I'm assuming riders here have had a good experience with Motobins?Bamboo812 wrote:With the British pound so low right now might be the time for a Motobins order...
My discs are pretty scored, they still work well. If I ordered two Brembo rotors should I order BMW pads? Anything else I should replace as a matter of course? Seals. pins?

Re: Brake rotor source?
You guys just reminded me I wanted new handlebar switches for my R65, who knows how much longer they'll be available.
I already have so many spare parts for it (including rotors) that I seem to be stuck with it for life.

Another silver lining for the Brexit! Motobins is cheap!
British banking stocks are cheap too.

Re: Brake rotor source?
On one of my bikes I put two new rotors on and was really impressed with the stopping force. It's worth a try. Let us know what you experience.

Re: Brake rotor source?
So Motobins has OEM, Brembo, Grimeca rotors. Any thoughts to which would be best?

I have had good luck with the Grimecas on my 81 R100RT.
