gee whiz. those things are neat.   I have to imagine that they are pretty heavy, but had to have been very effective.

Were they on the 'Super' RVF 750 Formula 1 bike?

Likely a good bit heavier than a set of BrakeTechs, but certainly still pegs the bling-meter.

Dunno what all they were mounted on, that particular set was on an RC-30.

Updated my previous post with weight of Snowflake front and OEM rear DSS Brembo rotor.

I will grab one of these new rotors I just got in and find a way to get its weight soon.

Its the BCM Iron rotors on eBay - has brembo iron rotor (the not-the-carrier-part-where-the-pad-contacts) part with their designed (BCM/Antron) carrier, and full floating buttons.

They feel SUBSTANTIALLY lighter than the swiss cheese. Quite happy since it was a hell of a bargain too (one could conceivably comparison shop at the price of the same "brembo" rotor, though the weights will be different due to the different carrier, but are otherwise identical).

Anygay, I will carry one to my wife's work tomorrow when I drop off surprise flowers and steal a brief intimate moment with their postage scale.


In other news, Sir SpeedDog, look what I found on the internets (I thought I had run out of internets, i was wrong):

 :o Sweet!  :o

I'll put those on my list of presents I want to get from Santa.
But there's no way I could possibly be *that* good.

See that price?!? ~4050... EURO.  (plus shipping) - that is over $5,500 with the google currency converter. FACK!

Speeddog

Yeah, they're cool 'n' all, but not *that* cool.

That's like 2 bikes worth of BrakeTech CMC rotors.

I can't go fast enough to have to stop 5 1/2 g's worth. ;)

Are you pulling 5.5 g's with, or without ABS ;D
