Fellas,
How does one decipfer these codes? Punched it into the poota…..nuffink!
Trying to hunt down same or equivalent. Great feel/power in the dry. Could be alot better in the wet! Bike-Corsa with floaters.
Cheers Hooksey.

I ask Mike Sondalin personally at Gowanlocks, with my old pads in my hand for size comparison, it's confusing as hell and expensive plus dangerous to put the wrong pads in. Years ago I asked for racing quality pads, big mistake. They worked great if you waited for them to get really hot but cold or wet gave you nothing.

I can add some confusion here ...;)

Those last two digits are for how "aggressive" the compound is. "Aggressive" isn't my term - it's Brembo's. And your guess is as good as mine as to what it means. But 30 is quite high. It might explain the poor performance in the wet ...

The original pads were coded 07.4183.25 (or .20). See attached piccie.

However Brembo currrently use a different coding system. Under this system, 07.4183.25 becomes 07BB1408 (or 1410). Again, see attached screen capture of Brembo catalogue.

HTH, but not sure that it does ...

P.s The pads in the photo are what I use in my Corsa.

(And sometimes Brembo put a '1' in front of the old "07.****.**" code. See attached screen capture from a Brembo catalogue).

Cheers Craig, your obviously happy with the performance of the less aggressive type on stock rotors?
 
Ah, the fabulous M64 pad compound! Sadly no longer available presumably due to the asbestos component. They made the standard Brembo set up really sing 😁

I'm unsure if older (non current) Brembo part numbers provide any useful information about the pad friction coefficient. From the codes in those photos it looks like they used Mintex and Ferodo to supply.

I use the Brembo carbon ceramic higher coefficient pads - part number 07BB1418 (as opposed to the 07BB1408 option) - and find they work well for street use, rain or shine. But not M64 performance tho!
Carpi Moto show the - 18 part number against 07.4285.20 (link) They are certainly not what I would call aggressive... unlike a sintered pad on gixxer 320 mm stainless rotors!

Obviously stay away from sintered compounds on original spec cast iron rotors.
 
With Rob there, haven't seen new ones for decades! Replacements rarely work as well.

Junk the cast discs, lots of really good pads to be had that work fine with stainless under all imaginable conditions.

Cheers Rob 👍

Piet, Will run the cast rotors down a whisker more before replacing. Is there a stainless rotor off the shelf that will suit the factory set up?

France Equipment rotors are popular as they have TÜV and KBA approval, which is paramount here. Reckon there will be a supplier in Oz, maybe quiz Red about it.

FE rotor with BMW/Brembo 4-pots on a Ceriani-equipped 3C. Works well with the stock M/C, just add race pads for stanchion-bending performance.

Rotors fit the stock calipers too.

Merry Christmas Dave try a pair of EBC Double H's they will give you what you need, will bite onto the cast rotors pretty well.
Give me a shout when your coming down for a ride!!!!!
 
Trust me, one day your going to need it or your going to hit what’s in front of you. Improved brakes are a must have in modern traffic nowadays 😀👍

We've been through that several times Tom.
We should all be riding only bikes equipped with the latest brakes and ABS, which is mandatory in the EU, wearing only high quality riding gear with an airbag and so on.
We all have our limits, by choice or imposed by our finances.

So maybe we could have avoided that car.

I want to be cremated and my ashes thrown into the wind.

Metalgear based in Brisbane have stainless brake rotors to suit the Laverda set up, bought dozens of them

www.metalgear.com.au

Brake Disc Rotor outer - MetalGear

Brake Disc Rotor outer - MetalGear - Replaces 70777343, 80277340 MetalGear brake disc rotor can be bolted straight onto the original centre re-using your original bolts. You must check your centre for accuracy before fitment.
www.metalgear.com.au www.metalgear.com.au

When I built the Motodd for Mike I had to machine up the front brake carriers as was running GSXR rims with Showa USD forks thus rotor offset was far from standard. Went to see Bernie at Metalgear and he installed the 320mm stainless rotors for me. Told me I was the first customer to ever turn up with custom made rotor carriers so he showed us around his factory set up, most impressive

"You must check your centre for accuracy before fitment"

Not so sure it's the accuracy of the centre that is lacking.

When the first batch of France Equipment rotors arrived at OCT, we ran into several alignment issues. We got back to them and they revised their production. They now fit first time, every time, on all 280mm Brembo centres.

Yes, but are they off the shelf with bobbin machining to fit carrier? Or do they provide that service if the carriers are posted up……

Cheers, Hooksey.
 
What's the difference between the calendar and the bike cut in half?

I missed seeing you were talking about the Corsa floaters, that is a different problem
Very much doubt Metalgear would install oversize bobbins in those floaters but I have the oversize bobbins in stock and the fixtures required to do the machining and installation

Rotors Metalgear sell for the Laverda's are these units, fit every time
Their spiel about having them fitted at Metalgear is because of liability issues, same as why Brembo rebuild kits are getting so difficult to find these days
