1200 Brake disc's

[71Laverda750SF]

Was thinking about changing up the brake discs on the 1200 from the solid to the drilled. Really don't want to change anything else if I don't have to, so is this a good/bad idea?

Clay I don't think there's a huge difference between undrilled vs drilled cast iron discs IMHO, I've just bought a set of drilled stainless rotors from OCT for my RGS and I'm hoping that I can get the most out of the otherwise standard set up with the use of sintered pads by going this route.

Hi Clay,
I have the drilled stainless discs on my 78 Mirage and it stops on a button: I also have solid cast iron discs on my 74 3C and it too stops well though not quite as sharply: i suspect the difference is probably in the master cylinders as the 75 Sf has solid discs too and outbrakes the pair of them... If you do swap the old discs out you should get fair value for them if they are still within tolerance: probably enough to cover the cost of the stainless discs...

Sounds like the plan is drilled discs and some caliper re-builds once I get home from the land that time forgot.

ciao,

Not that much more expensive to put floaters from EBC on.
