looks like a galfer rotor
Looks a lot like this:

which is a galfer knock off
I would expect it would have Galfer somewhere on it...
no the only thing they say is:
braking and
KBA61094.D and the min. thickness
4.5 I believe
nothing else
I don't think they are high quality
Are they the same as these? http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=42205.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=42205.0)

i would think the guy running those forks (which looks like ohlin billet lowers) and those rims would be running actual galfers.
they are definitely not galfers. galfers cut outs are fatter at one end and taper to a thinner hole towards the outside of the rotor. they don't appear to be the eBay jobs either as the eBay rotors have a curved slot.
my guess is they are "braking" brand rotors as it both says this on the rotors (from the op description) and they have a straight and uniform slot in them much like braking rotors have. i know a couple of ppl using the braking rotors and they are happy, they seem to be one of the better galfer knock offs. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/5/82/10037/23681/PITEM/Braking-STX-Brake-Rotor-2008-Ducati-Monster-695-Parts.aspx (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/5/82/10037/23681/PITEM/Braking-STX-Brake-Rotor-2008-Ducati-Monster-695-Parts.aspx) ;D
id say these small differences are what allows all these mobs to copy galfer rotors style without prosecution.
as for pads i would would run any decent branded sinter pad. i have the bendix mf206 on galfer rotors and love them.

that is one blinged out mother make the beast with two backsing bike. you must of paid a pretty penny for it.
screw the rotors, i wnat some more pics of that bike!!!! congrats! but seriously, all that and they aren't galfers? wtf
looks like a matris steering damper, ohlins forks, penske three clicker rear shock, braking rotors, crg bar end mirrors, and maybe an oberon clutch slave cylinder and some 10 spoke wheels (maybe CARROZZERIA). all on a 750 dark! thats more mods than bike....
looking again, is that a cycle cat stand and cycle cat rearsets!? and a different rear sprocket too
Agree...those are not Galfer's
good copy tho. had to go look at my rotors...I have Galfers...and as a previous post states
the cooling slots do narrow towards the outside
Surprisingly Braking rotors are higher end than Galfer ;)
Ask me how I know on pricing.
But yeah they look like Braking rotors out of Italy

it has forged alloy Marchesinis
cycle cat clip ons, top triple clamp, rear sets, side stand sargent seat, etc. etc. etc.

I've run Brembos of all kinds.. stainless.. iron..
I've got a set of galfers
The Chinese rotors compete with stainless semi-floaters from Brembo and Galfer without any reservation.
