F800GS front brake rotors.

http://www.motorworks.co.uk/vlive/Shop/Parts.php?T=5&NU=10&M=72&Ct=GA&SbCt=BA_10_72_GA_40

I need two front brake rotors for my F800GS, for some reason I can't figure out how to buy the rotors they have listed?

For used parts you need to call I think

just reading this tread for the first time so i might be late in weighing in and I'm sorry to hear about your woes, but i would never, never ever put my life in the hands of chinese brake components, period!! sure they haven't failed yet and they might not, but what happens when they do, are you really willing to be that guy? need more convincing, doesn't take much of a google search to find failed suspension, brake, wheel failures involving chinese metallic parts.

Just took delivery of a pair of Metal Gear front discs. http://www.metalgear.com.au/page/1/Motorcycle_Brake_Parts_a.html
I have a rear and no problems. Australian owned and manufactured so should be ok. $400 delivered for the pair is pretty damn reasonable.

OEM Rotors are done. 33K miles on my bike and I've been "putting up" with that irritating rattle for five years now! (2012 F800gs)

I just got through dealing with 3 eBay vendors who didn't know a thing...Two who couldn't deliver the rotors, the last vendor just sent the wrong set of Galfers!

I called the Galfer dealer in Oxnard California and they are overnight shipping the correct rotors. Great people to deal with!

The part numbers for Galfer are as follows...

DF664CWI (Front left)
DF664CWD (Front right)

Retail at $338 each

Hows those front discs going, metal gear do a great range of stuff, i can walk in the door just down the rd from my place, i always use rhere sintered pads in bikes now and have bought other tvings like chains and sprockets from them

I haven't used them yet. They are fitted to my spare OEM wheel set up. They look good and seem more robust than the original. It took a while for Metal Gear to manufacture them and they wouldn't release them until they had met quality tests. I suppose that says something.

Had problems with the AK20 cartridge and have spent all day rectifying the problem. I will take it for a spin tomorrow to make sure all OK. I must have killed a Chinaman or smashed a dozen mirrors. I have fired the bullet on the Ohlins cartridge but whilst I was repairing the AK20 I noticed a serious hell dent in the area where the outer seal fits. It has been hit by something hard with a square edge and was in the area that is a little concealed by the lower mudguard and the tyre. It isn't leakin oil but might be a bit of a bugger when Nick fits the Ohlins. Now trying to find a replacement upper leg.

And then.......I get a call today that I may be required at Millmerran for 5 weeks after Easter there goes any chance of doing any riding until June. Hopefully I don't get the call.

Oh dear those outer tubes are about $950 each too

Let me know how it goes

What did you find with the AK's ?

I think it might have been a bit of human error last time I changed the oil. I couldn't have tightened the lock nut up to the preload adjuster enough. It appears the two had vibrated apart. I have cleaned up the threads with a thread chaser ( joys of being in the fitting trade for years ) so the internals will be OK for a while. There was a lot of extremely fine metal in the oil when I drained the leg. I think I have flushed the crap out OK. Test ride on Easter Sunday show show if things will be OK.

Seeing the end of the video reminded me of sad news reported this morning on the radio of a female killed whilst chasing a Dog on the Motorway

On brighter news the new BMW1200GS has an enduro setting so no need to turn off ABS as it is calibrated for off road and I can attest after being at BMW off road school that it works very well indeed.

I'm figuring you got the floating discs...

Did u see their solid discs? I saw them a few weeks ago when I got chain n sprockets from them.. $330 a pair and no rattle... Don't think I need floating....?

But yeah, +1 on Metalgear stuff and service...!!

.

Floating discs only 'cos that is what is on as OEM

Hows the Arashi front rotors going

I put a pair of those on the front of my 2013 F800GS, 15,000 miles later they are still working well and I don't miss the annoying 'clacking' sounds I had with the stock BMW rotors.

Thanks, Ive got a spare wheel now and might throw these in it

Just got my Arashi rotors. They look great! Can't wait to install them and get rid of the annoying pulsing from my warped right rotor.

Which model of rotor has been working well, the Arashi website does not mention a rotor for the F700 or the F800? I'm ready to have a set on hand due to light warping on one of the F7s but not sure which model is producing decent results.
Thanks!
