Need Replacement Front Rotor for R100GS

Post by Deleted User 62 »

I'm looking for a replacement front disc brake rotor and pads for a friends 1991 R100GS. BMW dealers are asking $465+ for OEM. Any better, cheaper options out there?

Here are some options.
I personally prefer OE rotors (with EBC pads)

I installed a EBC rotor and pads this past spring, I am happy with the stopping power of the new disk.

Wemoto in England has Kyoto disks for less than GBP 60-.

They are OEM quality - I have a six pot with Vesrah pads and the set up works better than OEM/EBC

You have to drill out the bobbins, and bolt them to your existing center, but the bobbins are the softest stainless steel I have ever come across.

Check Motobins as well. They have some aftermarket rotors at a reasonable price.

Are there any cast iron rotors available? Mine are scored from over use and eventually will have to be replaced. Cast Iron is like taking the condom off! :twisted:

Overlander Equipment , in Oz , still makes CI disks to order, dont know how you would go with the floating disk on the GS if that is what you are after.
