What brake discs can you get for the mc21? i havent really come across any.

cheers for the link mate, thats deffo an option, but i had them on my old nc30 and they do warp easily i found.

The discs i really want are waveys, not stealth discs as they look pretty awful.

are there any discs of other bikes that fit the mc21 without any ajustments?

They (EBC) also do/did Prolite race discs (they've got dodgy blue middles and red rivits) and they're awesome, they turned me from complete pansy on the brakes into a bit better than average braker.

And we all know wavey discs are just one step away from purple screenbolts.

na i like the wavey look and are supposed to offer great braking, many supersport 600 teams use them dont they, so they cant be just for looks.

If your looking for some custom discs with cast rotors, ISR sweeden will make a set up for you takes around 2 - 3 weeks from order, not cheap but then for an extra £30 - £50 a disc you get an awsome disc made for your bike, I remebr it was one of the things i was gona do before selling the bike and i was quoted around £180 / disc for Semi floating

here

And to top it all off the guy who runs the shop is an ex racer/mechanic so has an idea of wht you need.

Of course you could always try and source a second hand pair, alot cheaper!!!

fontyyy are you trying to be funny? Evil or Very Mad or am i just not getting your personality.

I want some wavey discs, are you trying to say i shouldnt get waveys because you see them as a cosmetic upgrade and nothing more.

cheers RC46 thats something to consider. Cool

Race teams will fit whatever their sponsor gives / pays them to fit, it's no endorsment it pays the wages.

You only have to look at the number of top racers wearing Alpinestars, yet they never come out top in the tests.

I think the wavey's look good but they are hard on pads. The design means there's a constant cleaning of the pad surface and that tends to wear them out quite quickly.

MC21 brakes in good service will stand it on it's nose without trying too hard, so like a steering damper, they're kinda cosmetic rather than a requirement.

But hey, it's your money mate, spend it how ya like!

Racers Alpinestars are made of Kangaroo (motogp anyway).

Protection is always going to be a compromise with strength and comfort.

As for the Galfer waveys I use them on my bike, the major advantage is weight, the bike now turns much quicker, initial bite is improved. Not had them long enough to measure brake pad wear. They look ace!

I'll see if I can find a set, what year is an MC21?

1990-1993 but I believe they (mc18,21 and 2Cool are all the same, mc21 and mc28 EBC discs have the same part number.

A front pair saved a whole 1KG over stock and the rear saved another 700 grams off the top of my head. Also remember it is rotating mass so the saving has even more benefit at high speed.

I sold a pair to a club racer and he said he was running over the inside curbs until he got used to the new turn in speed.

I'll have a look around.
