Question on brake rotor interchangeability
« on: May 18, 2012, 02:46:18 PM »
I had to mount the rotors concave in (backwards) on my zx-9 forks due to the width of the mean streak front wheel.  To make that work, I used longer bolts with machined washers on the calipers to line them up.  I have never really liked this setup, and although I can't point to any problems, it just seems like there's a better answer.  Well yesterday I had to go to motorcycle safety standdown training, and I was talking to a friend of mine who has an 05 Busa.  It has 320mm rotors, but they are flat.  This would get rid of my washers or the need for a spacer, and probably give more rigidity to the caliper mounting too.  They look like they are the same bolt circle and center hole diameter as our kawi rotors, but i can't find any data.  Could someone point me in the right direction?

Found the info. The kawi rotor has a 60mm inside diam and 80 mm bolt pattern.  The suzi has 69mm, 91 mm.  Bummer.
