Single front brake rotor?

[Crawlin]

Saw a busa this weekend that had a single rotor conversion. Basically just the one side had the brake caliper and rotor. Looked kinda interesting, but does it serve a purpose? I thought it would kind of defeat the purpose of a quick stopping bike

Was it a show bike?

Some of the members who drag race, and some who have show bikes will take off one rotor to reduce weight or to expose more of a custom wheel for looks. Not a good idea for a street ridden bike though as 80% of your stopping power comes from the front braks.

Not for me and the way I ride... maybe for just cruisin Daytona beach at 20 mph.

As for on the road, you are having a laugh, Busa brakes are crap anyway

but one disk, that's just plain silly

Showbike poss - definately not the safest

yeah, just a normal "cruiser" for the street, but spent a good amount of time at the dragstrip

It's just to show off the front wheel...

This has been cover a million times. Mainly if you haven't tried it then you can't comment on it. I am running 1 rotor, but with SS line, galfer wave rotor, and HH pads. Looking at getting upgraded caliper. I love the way it stops. I am not a 125 mph rider at all times so it works for me. Good bite still stops great. Rode this weekend at the Texas busa meet-up. No issues.
