Now price them over in USA , that is the Aussie $ for $990 , worth $700 roughly on US $ .

I appreciate your time and effort they are very nice but unfortunately out of my price range $350 to $400 is the max for me

Through the whole video all I thought was "the poor Bandit" It looks like it was parked in a barn for 20 yrs...of course there will be issues with the rotor float pins-and everything else most likely.

you can get EBC rotors for 200 bucks or so... that's whats on my bike now.... they work OK.... I think I overheated a caliper.... and its sticking now.... BUT the rotors survived...… get em from PH.... with any parts... that way, if something ever goes wrong.... HE ANSWERS HIS PHONE and actually helps resolve the issue.

Are you planning on running those rotors with your used Brembo calipers ali ?
Seem like a lost opportunity to not use the $ you saved on buying second hand calipers , on a trick set of rotors instead of the old rotors you are currently running !!

There is luckily a great selection of aftermarket rotors for Busa , looking at your avatar , Gen 1 be what you are needing and in stainless steel ?
I think @jeffgordons24 scored a nice set of Italian made 'Braking' wave rotors for his Gen 1 , you could contact him about those .
I believe EBC make 2 types , one is full drilled rotor , the other there wave type .
You could check Galfer out , @c10 has had good results from his well tested set .
Brembo do a nice stainless rotor , but full floater , which can be noisy of course , but are real classic beauties .
There are others that lean toward exotic and big $ , but any of the above are solid performers , with good expectation for wear and general longevity .
Your bike certainly looks to be special bro , good luck and really search around once you have had decided on your choice of manufacturer .

I have the Braking's as Mr. Toad said...I can not speak to the performance of them because I haven't actually ridden with them on the bike. Build quality is top notch and they seem like they will be great.
If you want top tier performance, its hard to beat the Galfers which again as stated by RT @c10 has. The major advantage when I asked Bryan was the serviceable buttons. You could essentially separate the floating disc from the carrier for cleaning and what not.

The best bang for the buck in my opinion (and what I would have purchased had I not found the Braking's) are the Yana Shiki. They have a distinctive look, people who have used them have great things to say and at only $153.00 per rotors its a great deal.

What type of rotors do you have and can I get the blue rings

He said blue

 

[ROADTOAD1340]

He said blue

You can get blue buttons for the Braketech's bro , look wild on your bike , maybe next time after you wear those new Braking rotors out first bro .

Mine rattle like crazy , when I lane split between cars .... it truly sounds like my bike is falling apart... View attachment 1595980

But oversize cast iron full floaters are what I also recommend and run , and I can even out brake myself with this setup !!

YESSS!! That is genius! See that is how you get them. Make the bike "sound like its falling apart" so by the time they realize it is a fine tuned piece of precision machinery all that is left to see is tail lights.
Its great to see pics of your bike I love all you have done.

Thanks bro , I love that race rattle , real loud . I also meant Braketech....

more mods coming..... brakes will be done.... I don't really care about the brakes... the only reason im doing this (calipers/new Brembo MC from frank) is because I melted the stock caliper, and I wanted a little more stopping power.... im not trying to see how much money I can waste on a new brake setup... its a hot rod.

I guess you can get away with continuing to cheap out bro as GNBRETT had clearly done with the brake setup as you bought it , as in that picture , especially if you don't care about brakes , guess you got to ride it fast more bro !!
I am always thinking of @over200 build , how that bike truly is a worldclass hot rod , yours could go that extra mile imho .

well... ok.. ionly thing different is the ohlins forks and brakes right? and did u ask how much power he made? its difficult to make 6-7 hp.... that's really what im into... ure really not into turbo builds I think.... because u have no appreciation for a super ultra kit/gen2 multistage... head work/ cams..... this bike is allllllllll motor/turbo...… and that's what I wanted.... even if I had the money I wouldn't go ohlins…. why? its a hot rod.. a REAL hot rod

HAHAHA , I know a good ultra when I see one eli , and overs is killer , all built , everything done just right . He also made it his own , not sat back on any last owners crap ideas !! Mike too , that is going to be KING KONG , built just the weigh you would want to conquer LSR !!
Your bike is a tuff bike , but it really still looks as though GNBRETT still rides it to work .... oh well buddy , as long as you are happy , all is good !!!
