EBC pro lite rotors

[piggy]

Has anyone used them? I need new ones on my K75rt and i ride it hard so the floating design looks a lot better than the fixed mount standard type

Hopefully folks have good experience - I bought a set and will be installing them on my K75C in the next couple of weeks.  At $203 each from bikebandit a pair was cheaper than a single OEM rotor...

I know nothing about the EBC floating rotors but I use their direct replacement rotors with excellent results (not including the price difference).

They're all probably fine. The OEM replacement ones are probably good too.

I'm not sure how much the floating rotors will help.

I've got a set of good, used, non abs rotors collecting dust in my garage. PM me if you are interested.

I wonder the same thing myself as BMW went back to fixed rotors.  There are claimed benefits but it may have been just a fad/marketing ploy.  Replacing rotors costs enough without having to worry about bobbin maintenance/costs too. 

I'm a pragmatist. I just want something that will stop me reliably.

I think you'll be fine with the EBC rotors.

Price is right too.

I read reviews that claimed improved braking as well. But I gotta wonder...
They replaced the rotors for a reason (like, they were worn out?), then claim the new ones work better (Ya' Think?).

Think different materials that might give better friction.

Thanks guys, the thing i worry about is warping standard ones, mine are horrible at the minute the bike sort of bounces on the brakes and you can really feel it on the lever. Was fine when i got it so i think it's heat warping due to hard riding two up and loaded  :tongue just seems to me that floating discs should be able to expand without distorting. I'm planning a track day this year so i'm guessing they'll need to cope with a lot of heat ...

Hi Piggy,
About 5 years ago I replaced the warped OEM rotors on my airhead with EBCs.  It was a very good move.  They work well and have not been subject to the warping issues the OEM items are infamous for.  I'd buy EBC rotors again if the need arises.

Not sure how it is on the pre 1200 Ks, but if you use a button and a wave washer to install your rotor, it is not a solid mount and they do float a little bit.  Just enough to center on braking which is all you really need (if you really need that).
