I like what you're coming up with there...
I like that you are using what looks like a smaller hole; seems right for how slight the stock disc is.

The guy who does the drilling service does 3 bigger holes in a pattern of 8, but I like yours much better. More work though...

You thinking about doing it?
Offering it as a service?
I'll be ready to send you my chain tensioner in a couple of weeks, I could send you my disc at the same time... Grin

Reply #32 - 12/23/11 at 15:23:01 Yes, but I need to get a pattern made... might not be available till end of january. That'll give me time to try it out 1st and see how many drills it'll consume.

can someone please explain to me why motorcycle brake rotors are ten times more expensive than car rotors?

I understand that fewer rotors need to be made and that drives the cost up, but really? $300 for a circular piece of metal with holes in it? (not on the savage, but on some other bikes it is expensive. try finding one for a '85 honda vf700s sabre).

EBC's $160 rotor:

Wow! That one has a lot of holes in it! I have an EBC on mine and it looks like these:

I can easily do a pattern of 4 since I can use the mounting hole for alignment. And I think this would be enough. A pattern of 8 is more difficult but doable.
