any recommendations?
Brembo or Galfer are pretty common, and Galfer also makes a rear rotor.
There are a few brands for high end brakes, but I'm not sure what all is available for the Gen3 right now.
haven’t finished yet, having trouble to find a gold titanium seat bolt.
You could buy 2 bolts that are fully threaded, then have the ends turned in a lathe, to cut some of the threads off and turn it down into the correct pin diameter.
The machine shop would have to have the tooling to cut titanium with, and someone familiar working with it.
If someone is familiar machining titanium, then they should have some tooling and cutting bits, or be able to order one and charge you for it...couple hundred plus labor.

Probably gonna get Brembo. I did research on Gen3 busa front and rear rotor. They all look pretty ordinary. Check what my friend did to the rear rotor hahahahahah

No clue about the weight saving after titanium bolt replacement. I bought them just for good looking hahahah
But yeah, to answer your question , I’d say at least 1 pound
Fair enough.....nothing wrong with wanting something nice and if it equates to a bit of weight loss, why not?No clue about the weight saving after titanium bolt replacement. I bought them just for good looking hahahah

I was just curious is all...

What kind of coating is that?
I wonder how long it'll last?
Or does the rear brake not work?
It looks like it is being ridden and loved, I'd take that any day.....

Ohh sry, what he did is actually the chain wheel not the rear rotor. He got help from a titanium factory, the factory measured his stock chainwheel size and made a titanium one. Then he sent that chainwheel to do the blue burning process and lettering.
To be honest, I prefer my stock chainwheel hahahahah
We call that the rear sprocket.....Ohh sry, what he did is actually the chain wheel not the rear rotor. He got help from a titanium factory, the factory measured his stock chainwheel size and made a titanium one. Then he sent that chainwheel to do the blue burning process and lettering.

A titanium rear sprocket would be rather expensive....but would be the lightest one.....
Yeah, I'm not sure if I personally like the style of the colored sprocket with designs and pictures, but I've never seen that before, and I think that the idea itself is really cool, and of course unique.
As well as the tech to burn or engrave the image on it.
I would like to see more about this!
and no...my sprocket isn't fancy
lmao
