Steamer Pre-Emptive Brake Thread

[JetdocX]

Well?  Any aftermarket available to us?  

I'd like a sweet wave rotor and some galfer greens for the front of mine this winter.  Anyone?  Nissin brakes?  Gotta be an aftermarket, right?

You prolly are not going to find wave rotors for a steamer .
OEM's at bike Bandit or the dealer will set you back 3 bills each ! ouch !

Jetdocx,

Check with Ed at cyclebrakes.com

I dealt with him (based on your recommendation) earlier this year.  I bought a pair of Galfer wave rotors for the front of my '98 - part #DF005W - $189 ea.  I went with FF112HH sintered pads on the front, and FD117HH for the rear.  Be sure to double check these P/N's with Ed before ordering!  I believe the green pads are an option instead of the sintered HH pads.   At the time they had a promo where I got custom Galfer brake lines at no charge with the rotor purchase.  Also bought a clutch line at the same time.  Stock rear rotor is good enough for now.

Honestly, I haven't had a chance to install the pads/rotors yet - bought a new Scrambler last month :-).  I put the lines on right off and they work great.  Thanks for your help with the line measurements.  I'll give an update on the pads/rotors one of these days...

Thanks,

Wow!  A Steamer with wave rotors?  Nice!   :D  Pics, please?

Thanks for the info.

Did the brake hose measurements work alright for you?  Have you installed the new brake hoses?

[MontanaBBQ]

Yes, the hose measurements were great.  Install was no problem - a mityvac pump sure makes bleeding the new hoses easy :-)

I'll figure out how to post up a picture of the rotors once I get them installed.

Thanks,
