Girly Aftermarket Rotors (spoked wheels 00-04)

[JoeDirt]

I have been doing some shopping for aftermarket rotors for my too thin stock rotors. I have been focusing on EBC just because I know the brand name and they seem to be nice quality parts. I found 3 sets of new FA196HH pads for cheap on eBay and I did some research on the EBC website for rotors. I found some options for rotors in one of their catalogs:



I was looking at MD643 and MD649 in the beginning. Both were running $100+USD each so $300+ for a set. These are round in shape and look a lot like the stock rotors. I started fishing on some of the other part numbers just to check pricing. Amazon had pricing on the VR643 and MD649CX, that was very low. I bought (2) front MD649CX and (1) VR643 for $125USD total. That's all (3) rotors and they are "Vee" rotors.



I just bought mine today and I will keep you updated on my progress. I felt you guys should know that Amazon is selling these cheap in the "States".

Sorry guys Amazon corrected the VR643 from $29USD to $117. I'd rather be lucky than good any day. The MD649CX are still $44 a piece.

I received my Amazon rotors today. I think they look brilliant. 



I made out like a bandit on the VR463 for $29!!! 

I will keep you guys posted on the change out and will definitely take some final pics.

I got the front ones on... and they shine like a diamond in a goats ass. 



They look more updated and more modern than the originals.

I got the rear one on tonight. This was the $29USD rotor... that's 19GBP at current exchange rate!

I thought I did well getting a standard Kagizume rear for £70!

The package(s) says "Made in the UK" and the catalog page is from the UK catalog. There's still hope for you Bixxer!

I linked the EBC UK and international catalog:

Yea I looked on Amazon UK and nothing... I looked on eBay UK and all of the sellers are in USA or Germany. EBC has manufacture in the "States". Maybe these are being made in USA?
