Hi ali123. DME is running their standalone on some of their race bikes now. One of the guys at DME has a ton of money in his Motec and is taking it off for the new one they have. I have inturnaley lowered gen 1 forks very very stiff. Is your bike short necked? Is the frame raked? Does it have an aftermarket top triple tree?

Your wheel is Gen 1 compatible I am guessing , so you would want Gen 1 , 320mm replacements . The Brembo 'T-Drive' or HP series are both excellent stainless series Italian rotors , not up to speed on availability or price for Gen 1 , but should be easy to source . Double check the HP rotor thickness to the late model GP4-RX , but should be compatible .
Now , the Braketechs are USA beauties , they also are full floating rotors , are available in either stainless or ductile iron , and are available for Gen 1 . Not sure if they make an oversize front set like on my Gen 2 , but easy to find out . The stainless axis rotor variant comes in a trick wavy petal design , all Braketechs rotor carriers are hard annodized in stealthy colors , with choice of either red or blue buttons .
Most importantly , all the mentioned rotors are compatible with the GP4-RX pad swept area , and disc thickness should also be okay .
Nearly forgot , Braketech also make a beautiful rear floating rotor for Gen 1 Busa , not compatible with Gen 2 ..... :mad: , be a real nice set of rotors , right there !!

its such a pain to order this stuff and contact them personally to double check fitment.... we agreed I would source parts..... hell be doing other stuff to the bike while its there...… I make sure he stay busy/ its a cz front rim and I wanna do a wheel bearing also..... I have to be sure these rotors bolt onto the rim... then I need a whole assortment of spacers to mate the calipers to the rotors.
 
Piss easy to order , Braketechs and Brembo for that matter are model pacific , so if you do contact them it would be for availability .
I chose Braketechs because they were available in Ductile Iron ,and in oversize 330mm for Gen 2 . The iron rotors are lighter than stainless , and largely better braking material , but in outdoor storage or exposed to wet , will get a layer of surface rust , which disappears after first brake application . I chose Braketech because they are beautiful , trick and very tough .
