Ate's  premium rotor is made in china.

At my automotive shop, we put the ATE stuff on all the european cars with no issues what so ever. In addition, the Bosch and Hella products made in China seem to be far nicer and last londer than the european made counterparts. For example, the Chinese made Bosch mass air flow meter for VW/Audi is about 30% less expensive than the German made version and the seem to last longer.

I.E., their quality of manufacturing is much better than years past...they don't just make action figures and replica watches anymore!

i haven't put them back on yet.  they were great.  i am still working on the forks. 

ask terry (cromo) about them -- he knows someone who has been running them for a long time now, i forgot who.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I weighed them before putting them back on the bike

1.62 kg each.  That's 3.56 lbs for you and me.

That puts them lighter than the "snowflake" Brembo .

how are these working out for you?  i'm tempted about getting a set due to a a mishap with my bike and my rotor lock  [bang] [bang]

and can they be changed to be fully floating?  where's the best place to source the buttons or can they be taken off the old rotors?

I already bought a second set of their other design.

I do not know if they can be converted to fully floating.  It's possible you could use the aftermarket brembo conversion to FF, but you iwll need to drill out the buttons to find out.

that being said, they will probably start making them if enough people ask.  Email them and tell them.  George and Amy will reply.

yeah, i think i'm going to pick up a set too... wish i could get the newer design but it doesnt seem like the 796 has the same rotor as the 696.

have you weighed the new design yet?  they say it's about .5 kg lighter than the orig design.

ducatiz,

Yes,  you have told us you've bought a second set, but, how are they working? What's they feel like? Better than OEM?

These rotors work as good as OEM semi floaters.  The buttons on the first set have loosened a tiny bit.  I've emailed the factory to see if they can make some that are full float style and they seemed to say that wouldn't be a problem.

I'm waiting for a shoe to drop but so far they are perfect.

No, you'd probably have to buy a set and use them...  [evil]

The links in your first post are kaput, what is the name of the ebay seller you purchased from?

They're to expired auctions, nothing related to the seller.
