His name is racingboy8261

Excellent feedback -- the only complaints were that some people had to pay customs when they received it, which isn't the seller's fault at all.

One guy claimed the disk was off center, but that's the only "material" complaint out of 1826 reviews.  Could just be BS, plus they have repeatedly said they will take returns for any reason.

wish they made the new style in a size to fit the m796/m1100

did you have a chance to weight the new rotors yet?

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 .

yeah, but those are the weights of the wave style rotors.  the new ones are listed on the ebay page as being ~3 kgs, .5 kgs lighter a rotor than the wave style ones.  just wanted to see if the weight diff can be confirmed or not.

no worries, here are the links:

orig style "wave" rotors:

Weight: About 3.5kgs

Weight: About 3kgs

so if the wave ones are about the weight of the snowflake brembos, the new versions should be even lighter?

I have a set of both, and weighed them.  Those weights are wrong.

The old style are about 3.1lbs each and the new style are about 3.6 lbs

ducatiz,

so the weights in kgs are wrong? 3.1lbs : 2.2 = 1.409kgs/ea or 2.818kgs/set and 3.6lbs : 2.2 = 1.636kgs/ea or 3.272kgs/set ...

So my question is, which weight is wrong?

I just put mine on a scale.  The weights I posted are what I got in the package.  I don't know what they posted, maybe that's in the package?

3.1 lbs each for the old style

3.57 lbs each for the newer style

Ok, the weights are the same ... In kgs and lbs ...So it seems that they're very light.

I'll go ahead and order the 3 rotor set ...

cool, thanks for weighing them...

i couldnt understand how the newer rotors would be lighter than the older rotors considering that it looks like there is a lot more material in the new style rotors.

I buy directly from the manufacturer of these brake rotors.  I also buy rear brake rotors and billet brake levers from the same factory.  They just made some new brake and clutch levers for me to my specs.  These parts are top notch.
The levers are folding and I had spring operated ball lock fitted in the folding joint and also a small ball bearing on the thumb adjuster.
I buy in bulk and can supply these parts locally at very competitive prices (big saving on shipping).  I will post some pictures if there are any interest in these parts.

So now that folks have had these rotors a while - what's the status of them?
-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
