Arashi Rotors

[Bigpopa64]

My rotors work fine for me and my wallet, and with the EBC brake pads stopping power is better than stock and looks better than stock so I was doing a review

Sometimes cheap parts are as good or almost as good as expensive ones. Levers, rear sets---if you know how they work you might just get by fine with the knockoffs and a small file. Often they improve the design a little. OH I hear a shitestorm approaching.

I don't disagree actually. But I think cheaper parts are "just as good as expensive parts" because most can't push the bike to where their superior quality parts can make a real difference. I ran OEM rotors on my Brembo M4's for years and they worked quite well - no complaints. Feel this new stuff though and you have to put a repair manual over the woodie in your overalls - the wife will wonder what you're doing in the garage.

A Busa off the showroom floor is good enough. If that's the bar then absolutely rock that.

You're a guy who is focused almost entirely on the engine. Great bikes are balanced. Power, handling, stopping. It's all a system. Imagine your monster with suspension and brakes to match that engine...

The image of my rotors if anyone was interested

When you go 200 mph in a hotrod you have tons of metal wrapped around you. Handling is always important on a bike ridden on the street.

I thpught I might give these a try. I emailed the company and distributer, to ask if the models they list are compatible with the ABS model.
The reply was, "we're not to sure. Measure what you have to see if they're the same" - not awesome...

So, here's my question, is there any difference between Gen 2 abs and non abs models brake rotors?

The ABS ring mounts on the wheel not the rotor . all gen 2 rotors same bolt pattern to my knowledge

Thanks c10. I checked gaflers website and they have the same part number for '09 &'14 model.
So between you and them, I'm confident they're the same. Thanks for the quick reply.

I have front Galfers on my 2014 , and a Arshi on the rear

 

[Bigpopa64]

So far these Arashi rotors are great combined with EBC double h pads

 

[bird1300]

That's good to know. Thanks for the update!

Follow up on my Arashi rotors no issues to report they're doing just fine

Same here

 

[SSGT_B]

Mine are doing good too . But I’ve only got 9 miles on them

 

[ottafish]

Same here (ebc hh pads)
Reckon it took about 300kms for them to settle in
