Brake rotors... so now I need 2.
« on: October 18, 2014, 02:49:44 PM »


Seems the PO did a little modification to get them to fit to the comstars.  I'm not convinced this is safe.

Where to for new rotors?

Oh dear, what a mess. Stuipid bit is a proper set of disks for the comstars and sell the 550 ones would have been cheaper then killing 2 good disks. Might be possible to get those centers repaired, but given they are safely critical, I personally would be not that keen to try, better replace and have peace of mind. Having seen that I am in no doubt you are absolutely right to go through that bike carefully. Sometimes ignorance can be the most dangerous tool in the box.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

As a hint 500 twin and 550 four are the same, also 450 twin but they would cost more!!

Would these work?  Are the 750 and 550 discs the same?

Two different size disc's. The one from the K7 is bigger in OD.
