    Dunno if anyone's ever tried them but I thought I'd give them a crack as I needed new discs & they're an Aussie mob. Spoke to them in November as they were out of stock for 125(250/310 4T's) rears & they were just waiting to do another run. They called back mid December saying they were all in stock. All 4 discs delivered for around AU$360 from memory! Just mounted rear up on 125 so will give it a crack over weekend hopefully & see how they fare!

    Pretty much a copy of OEM Braking discs for fronts so look good! Speedo magnet hole & all. Rears slightly different but better looking thàn stock IMHO. Rear for 300 is fixed not a floater(what I wanted!) image.jpg image.jpg

    Wouldn't a floater do a better job of keeping the disc aligned between the pads?

    I'm sure they'd post stateside & with exchange rate still be cheap for you guys!

    Probably but who(brands) runs them these days? Plus I hated the rattle. They do the floater type plus all associated hardware!

    Well did 160km of single track on Sunday & pleased to report rear disc was great. Good feel & power(after few minutes of bedding in). No gouging, bluing or wear(a lot of rear brake sliding into switchbacks & downhills).

    Will put front one on this week & see how that fares as my oem disc(175ish hours on 125) is like a bit of alfoil thickness wise!

    Put the front disc on the other night before a ride along with new pads & Belray super dot 4 fluid. Also greased caliper pins.

    Brakes work fantastically, just like new again. Ya sort of forget how much performance you lose gradually after a while. The old front disc was that skinny you could easily warp/twist it by hand. Probably only 2mm thickness left at a guess! Like alfoil
