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...

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.

I'm in MAINE, Sweetheart...
I won't be able to ride this jalopy until at least late April.
Take your time! I'll wait!
Happy Whatever-You-Do-This-Time-Of-Year!!
Cheers!

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.

1st one... mounted, short test run completed.
I'll have to find an old set of stock pads and see if it cures the squeak.
