**Mon Feb 22, 2010 1:20 am » Post: #1 » Download Post**

is it possible to buy them?

is there any place i can find detailed info on them?

i want to know the measurements were the brake disk bolts to the wheel like PCD bla bla bla and axel diameter and the offset distance of the forks + the od of the fork were it slips into the tripple clamp

also... how "expensive are they?

Carbon discs.
Probably worth as much as the bike . . each, even then, you have to find something that bolts to your wheel.
Considering only GP bikes and SBK use them, i dont think you'll find any.
Plus they are completly useless in the wet.

Cant answer your fork qestions sorry

HPS is an aftermarket bike parts shop in Alfreton, UK - their website has carbon discs for sale.

I got my Ohlins shock off them years ago, have a look.

want to upgrade the current shocks, as they are crap.

these look like the ultimate lightweight solution, no?

is there something better more widly available?

the small diameter carbon rotors are attractive.

i also want to use that on my magteks... it "looks" like it might fit, but I have not seen any technical information on it.

that seems like enough motivation for me.

anything i missed?

Carbon discs on a street bike? Not going to be of use. You will never get them hot enough for them to be as effective as the steel discs on the bike now.

Steve A'lee has some HRC kit forks on his RC45. Although they are not exactly the same as the ones on Biaggi's NSR, visually they are very similar.

They cost £12,000.

try and get some rs or tz forks or a set of radial forks.ive got r6 radials,rsvr 320mm disks and an isr master cylinder,and thats more brake than i will ever need Laughing

i dont think carbon disks on the road would be safe as there hit and miss when not at fully working temperature.i will pm you a pic of my set up

Blowing £12 grand on a set of disks that you will never need?

Fair play for trying buy there are better areas to be spending that sort of money on

If your current shocks are crap, the cheapest way of getting them very good is to have them rebuilt for your weight and riding style.

SP forks can be very good indeed, as can the standard brakes when properly serviced - they came off a Fireblade remember?

just to clear something up...

its a track bike, so it will see high temps.

also, my current suspension is in good condition now... so a nother rebuild wont make much difference. there is just too much unsprung wieght.

i want to stay away from overly large rotors.

But 12 grand! If you had a 200hp racebike then maybe.. Not for a little trackbike. If you want smaller rotors try the setup some of the 125gp bikes use..

well, obviosly there is a cheaper alternative besides the 12k carbon... what is the next best technology?

looking for new inverted forks with the titanium nitrate coatings bla bla, and twin (small) rotors that can provide strong braking power.

im not interested in over sized/weight r6 etc forks.

any pics of Steve A'lee setup and where to get these elusive 12k parts?
