Cracked Disc

Does anyone know what these front discs are off ?

They fit the KR1S but yesterday found cracks around the holes in the right disc :shock:
I have a feeling they were from some Kawasaki 600 :?:

Maybe find a spare but it has to come off :evil:

They were thinner than KR1S discs but the minimum thickness was 0.5mm less too

Been looking at alternative front brake discs and apart from EBC, are there any other decent aftermarket discs out there ?
Has anyone bought some and put a few thousand miles on them with no issues ?

Anyone had these on their bike ?
For EBC, they seem a fair price

Those EBC discs still look tempting but have just emailed ABE to see what they have and prices :P

Well ABE quoted £110 each side and that is using your old centres , so the EBC are looking good again !
