Kagizume front discs.

[Simon UK]

Has anyone come across discs by this manufacturer before? even better if someone has used them and can give a opinion. I've googled them but all the feed back i've found is a few years old now, reason i ask is my bobbins are pretty siezed up and i may have to consider replacements.

Ya know.. the price makes it tempting doesn't?

I look at it this way, how much are you willing to spend to NOT have to worry about the quality of an unknown brake part that you will trust your life to?

if it were for the rear.. I might consider it.. for the front?.. not on MY life.

Never heard of that make before, but they look like Galfer.

Those aren't exactly bargain basement. Exchange rates put them at about $253 for the pair. That's about half the price of stock rotors, $30 less than EBC rotors, $40 less than EBC XC-Series Contour Rotors and about the same price as Galfers from Bike Bandit.

Ok.. still unknown quality rotors for about the same price as known quality rotors..

Well at least they aren't from korea....

Those are Chinese Galfer knock offs, you wanna buy knock off brake rotors for the same price as the real thing?

[arsenic]

The Chinese knock offs are SUPER cheap compared to the real thing. I doubt Chinese knock offs would be the same price. I've never heard of that brand though.

[scottynoface]

They look exactly 100% like Galfer rotors...

[TRPUT]

Just Google them. Some discussions on other forums re KAGIZUME. A few positive comments but mostly quite negative. No catastrophic failures but premature warping. Probably worth avoiding.

[arsenic]

Not 100%, I'd say more like 95%.

"Anyway - what I was saying (before everything disappeared) was I had to return two sets of cheap Kagizume brake discs after both failed within several miles of fitting on a previous bike. They started off poor, then went downhill from there - they had intermittent grip under braking at low speeds, and were basically appalling.

In the end I bought a full set of EBC floating discs, and stumped up the few extra £££ for superb braking and low speed control.

Ever since that experience with the Kagizumes, I will not take take any chances with cheap/budget brake discs (or pads), especially with something as big and fast as the BB. Just not worth it in my opinion - you never know what these cheap discs are made of - mine were certainly rubbish. " - CBR77 ( http://www.cbrxx.com/general-cbr-xx-...tors-ebay.html )

www.madhornets.com has Arashi front rotors for $189 US per set with free shipping. Google Arashi rotors and you will find that whoever actually bought them has been very happy with them. Mine came yesterday but due to work cannot put them on my VFR till the weekend. After 30,000 miles I have to replace mine due to sticking caliper pistons.

The people in the hayabusa forum said that its important to install the rotors out of sync, use new sintered pads, or you can lap your old ones if they are sintered.
