[metallic_lt]

BMW r1150gs ABS 2001


Hello,

Still can't believe it but I warped my rear brake disk by not removing Xena disk lock and just rolling bike back downhill a little bit.

Please advise your EXPERIENCE (not just what you think ) backing it up with mileage

Hekkane Disk from James Sherlock £72
Used Motorworks disc £65
Unbranded from China £40
Unbranded Steptoe £72 ( China as well? )
Brembo £98
Moto Bins Grimeca £78
TRW Lucas £98
Wemoto Kyoto £71
other options?

And ... what happened with this site? It is 2nd time somebody advising me to put instruments aside when I ask for an advise?

Steptoe doesn't sell rubbish.

I would go Brembo................especially if they do nice stickers in the box too

You forgot one, a new disc supplied direct from BMW main dealer

What side of bed do you get out in the morning?

 

[metallic_lt]

Dealer prices? It is very unusual to hear rhis from Yorkshireman, Johnny!
Why Brembo? Have you imstalled one? Mileage?

 

[metallic_lt]

Wrong one, bisbee! I did it one on suzuki bandit with no megative effect

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Why Brembo?

Because they do nice red stickers

I always fit BMW parts, the BREMBO might be same as OEM, read the writing on your disc

How many miles has your disc already done?

 

[metallic_lt]

"Red stickers fetish"

 

[metallic_lt]

48k miles

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

48k miles

46k for mine, I'm watching to see how you get on first then

 

[metallic_lt]

If it wasn't badly covered in rust i would hardly give this disk a few thousand miles. Can't see brand name on it.

 

[metallic_lt]

Cheap Chinese one?

 

[fatnfast]

motobins grimica. I ha've covered 22,000 miles since fitting and had no issues. Perfect fit and still looks as good as new. I'm currently using ferodo platinum pads, but had bmw brembo pads fitted prior to this. No problems with either pads.

Unbranded Steptoe £72 ( China as well? )

NO. ....

Steptoe doesn't sell rubbish.

I am sure that if you made him a fair and reasonable offer for the contents of his kitchen bin, he would give it reasonable consideration.

I've covered around 20k with discs from these people who make them in Coventry.

They are not listing R1150 (or 1200) discs ATM but they are worth a call.

You'll have no probs with Steppers so stop trying to belittle his discs, doing you a favour for doing them so cheap.
