New front discs needed

#1 Post by fatboy » Sun Nov 12, 2017 7:46 pm

I'm looking at a pair of Viper ones at the moment, seem reasonably priced and not made in China.....
If anyone knows something I don't know about Viper discs ( OK rotors ) then please shout do or do not buy !
I'm not condemning all Chinese made stuff, I don't want to take any chances with my front stoppers nor do I want to pay return postage on something as heavy as a set of discs

thanks Dale, they sound up to the job and a bit cheaper than viper ones.
It seems difficult to avoid wavey discs ( unless you want to pay through the nose for brembo ect.)

+1 For made in Wales I bought a second hand pair and had them refurbished at a very reasonable cost and very helpful chats
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I fitted Viper discs about a year ago. Very pleased with them.
