Buck,

I had them, they had too much overrun and I had brake issues . . . Get EBC if you don't want something expensive, the new V line has the carriers painted so you can choose  your colour

There aren't any threads about these.

If I buy em it'll be out of curiosity. These aren't the same rotors that have been discussed already

Anodized, not painted.

Also, if I buy them, I'll check the runout and the gage and if they're not up to par have them replaced. Braketech is the only company that deserves a premium price for rotors imo.

You're wrong, these are the first FULL FLOATING China rotors I've ever seen.

I'm off to the official Ban Yourself thread



By the way, they do look like a sweet deal

IMHO, you're going to spend some money getting better performance than these, with the right pads.

They did not used to be full floaters until someone in the Chinese factory realized that with a socket and a hammer they could turn their semi floaters into full floaters.  

I just don't like putting china stuff on my Duc.  Call me a snob but I would rather ride a stock full Italian Duc than do mods from China.  

My buddy put some of those Ebay 3/4 levers on his FZ1, they rattle about.  Just don't see myself ever intentionally putting a china made part on my sweet little Duc.

thanks for the correction . .

..........  Just don't see myself ever intentionally putting a china made part on my sweet little Duc.  

Personal choice/preference is always your privilege. I just suggest that a blanket condemnation of Chinese goods is not justified. True, there are some sub par items from China in all categories of mdse. However, there are also a multitude of quality parts and components coming from there which are used by many companies in a broad spectrum of products. It would not surprise me if there isn't a few Chinese components in our bikes. Maybe a bearing, or an ECU detail component.

I also think that a lot of the ebay Chinese motorcycle parts can be cheesy. But they are improved from offerings 2 or 3 years ago. One example which comes to mind is turn signals. Most of them are junk, but I recently looked at a Chinese pair which put my Rizomas to shame.

As for brake rotors, I have another bike with YaniShinka rotors. Many forums have posts from members describing them as junk. They obviously just want to post to give the impression they know what they are talking about when the opposite is true.

Getting too wordy, but another example of Chinese quality is in the world of metal working machines and associated tooling. Some of the highest quality CNC machines are Chinese and are used to manufacture other machines. But, as is the nature of their manufacturing, they also offer marginal machines. As for tooling, I can buy new end mills from China much cheaper than having them resharpened. For all intent and purpose, they are the same quality as U.S.

I suggest instead of a blanket condemnation that a buyer beware attitude would be more fitting.

[Rudemouthsky]

Yep ^.

I personally don't care about which side of an imaginary line my parts are manufactured. Not an accurate way to guage quality or value imho.

Yep, the snowflakes used on the superbikes at a great price.  They are semi floaters, not full, but a hammer can fix that.  If interested, jump on it, Fred constantly runs out.  Got the black version of them on my bike.
