MC21 fron brake discs

Mon Aug 25, 2008 12:43 am » Post: #1 » Download Post

Is there an aftermarket disc set available yet that will work with the stock brake calipers (not the NC35 conversion). Thanks

Someone has been listing these on ebay for several weeks. I know nothing about the quality though.

Admin Edit: Yes they have, and no I am not going to allow them free advertising!

Thanks Guys...

I saw both of these while surfing last night. The Prolights look very nice and the generic wavy's look ok but who knows about the quality. The price is right however...in your opinion do either of these represent a upgrade over stock? There is nothing wrong with my stock discs...looking for quick bling upgrade

I personally would buy the EBC's over the Chinese items any day of the week.

Just the words "cheap Chinese replacement brake discs" should be enough to seriously ring alarm bells! At least EBC have a proven record of high quality products.

Not necessarily, in my opinion. All the modern 250 brakes are much more than adequate!

EBC disc carriers may possibly be a little lighter than OEM, and the disc material may possibly be better when matched with corresponding EBC pads, but I doubt there's a huge amount in it. I am a big fan of OEM Nissin pads, and HRC pads are Nissin part numbers! Wink

The full-floating cast iron race discs are a different matter though, but they are an acquired taste as they can feel very different to stainless ones, plus they rust when you don't use them! My 297mm HRC discs are cast iron, and coupled with HRC calipers and a Nissin radial M/C, the braking is almost dangerous now... but in a good way! Laughing

If you want a proper upgrade, be it bling or practical, or both even, source some VFR400R NC30 forks, 296mm discs, and front fender. The forks are 41mm so slot right into the NSR triples, the discs bolt straight to the NSR wheel, and everything lines up perfectly! Pretty much what an MC21-F3 front-end is, but without the HRC internals.

Im also pretty sure that the rotors are the same as a CBR250RR 92 onwards. May make them easier to find if they are.

CBR250RR rotors are the same, I have a set of metal gear rotors brand new waiting to go in once the OEM ones are worn Cool

Maybe easier for you to find in Australia where the CBR250 is a popular learner bike, but not that many other countries I suspect.
