Where is the galfer rotor post...

[runeight]

Greetings,

Saw a post a few days ago. I need to copy and paste!

At any rate..looking for the best price on a set of front/rear Galfer wave rotors. Thought it was $490 for all.

Might as well get new pads also. I think that is recommended by you folks.

Send PM with price.

Anyone here use 'braking" brand wave rotors?

Ok...have a question...I know the "Wave" rotor is popular, but at the dealer the other day I seen the new Superbike rotor - the dealer called the "Tsunami's" and the price was about $550.00 each rotor

What the heck is the difference between the two besides looks - and yes they make the Tsunami for the Busa...but the cost is

Well those are certainly hot lookin. A little pricey for sure. Other than bling factor, gotta wonder if they offer any advantage for the street or if they're more suited for racing.

You can't say something suited to racing isn't suitable for the street - It depends on how you use your machine.. For alot of bikes there's improvements to be made in the brakes.

And the Wave's aren't that expensive - they can be had for about $500 for all 3.

All 3 BRAKING brand Wae rotors for about $500. I know I can do it for just a little over that. And the Galfers and Braking Waves are nearly Identical - I believe Galfer is the U.S. Branding of Braking, just Braking is the original company in Spain.

do you guys like the ABM Spiegler rotors?

Charles...could you post some pics up?

Also, whats do you know about the Waves,Tsunami's, EBC Pro's, and Spieglers as far as quality for price for serious road riding?

 

[StreetnTrack]

For the money EBC rotors are hard to beat. Here are the Spieglers.

How many racers do you see with wave rotors?  IMO more bling than anything.  It is easy to tell the loss of contact area when you put a set on.

Little less performance than stock...but they look cool.
Price Charles?

hbr -

I was told the "Big Deal" about the Tsunami's were they had more surface area and less weight than the Wave rotors...might justify the $500.00 a rotor for a serious racer....just way out of the ball-park for me $$$$

 

[MN72Busa]

Charles-

Spieglers look great, but might have to order a set of the EBC's form you in the near future....any reports on how the EBC's work at non-racing temps

 

[hbr]

Val- I could definatley tell a weight difference with em. I was disappointed with the Brakings wave rotors. If you check them now they don't have the same pattern as the ones I had. Now they look the same as the Galfers, which I heard performed better.

I agree the Tsunamis look great and are more of a "petal" design like Kaw is putting on their bikes. More rotor area = better braking. Never had stock brakes to the point of fade, so can't comment on the wave cooling better, though it would have to be assumed.

Them Tsunamis would look good on Gretchen, cept them dam red ? that connect the carrier to the rotor

 

[MN72Busa]

hbr - my local dealer had the Tsunami's with Black carriers....looked very nice, and talk about light...wow

Anyhow, I asked the guy how much and he said $500.00 and I was like...wow...I will take em...he rang me up and for the 2 fronts the total was like $1060.00 with tax...I said...

Dealer was like yah, $500.00 per side...I than said... No, thanks, but can I get some of that free coffee thats over there in the corner....I was sorta shocked how darn good that "Free" coffee was

 

[hbr]

HOLY SHID $500 each? Jesus Murphy- thanks for the laugh! It woulda been me and you standing by the coffee pot talking how we could each get 1 and then each of us use them for a couple months at a time

 

[StreetnTrack]

Yeah, road racing only. Galfer will even tell you they are terrible on the street. $275 each on the spieglers.
