I have put Kyoto rotors on my '81 R100RS without problems. They appear identical to those marketed under the Ferodo name. I have had them for some years and the only issue I've had is that the spring washers tend to rust out. replacement washers can be purchased by size on Ebay.

hi Rob,
i guess your '81 RS had the same brembo oem p08 calipers of my bike, am I right?
If so I think I will order the new tracks tryng to improve a little bit the braking power.

Hello everyone
Surfing on the internet I found this discussion and I subscibed to the forum to ask if I can put ferodo rotors on my 1983 R100 with brembo p08 calipers, looking at the caliper from the front, I seem to see that in the radial direction there is little space and I would not like the washers (that are larger in diameter than old pins) to collide with the caliper
I didn't understand if steveD did the job on a 1982 rt or not.
Welcommen.
Mine was a 11/82 RS/RT. Should be the same on all 9/80-end of 84 production of the R100 variants.

Thanks for popping this one to the top! I'm expecting to be replacing all three brake discs on my RS project as they are all groovier than I'd like.
