Subject: Damaged brake disc
Hi,
>Cause I have had a little problem with my brake disc lock (I forgot to
>remove it, really stupid mistake)
That's true. ;-) The most important reason why I never will use a
brake disc lock.
> I now need a new front brake disc for my RD07 (Bj. 94).
>Cause of the fact that a new one is really expensive (appr. 360 Euro)
>I´m looking for a used front brake disc. Has anybody a used one left?
I searched very long for a pair of used discs and did not succeed. Two
times I phoned about 50 spare parts dealers all over germany and some
of them laughed at me. "We only get one or two Africa Twins a year and
the brake discs are sold after a few days" some stated. the chance to
get some are very low.
I wrote in April:
I have a good tip for anyone who's searchig brake disks for his @:
I mounted a pair of them from Braking (italy) a few weeks ago and I'm
very satisfied. They fitted well, have a very good quality (I don't
know the words in english: saubere Kantenfräsung und saubere Senkung
aller Befestigungslöcher, keine überflüssigen Beschichtungen) and they
rotate smoothly without anything strange or any strange noises or
whatever.
Even the TÜV made no problems. TÜV checks correct mounting and writes
a piece of paper, which you have to take with you until the next
change in the papers is made. Then you are enforced to write the Discs
into the "Kfz-Brief" and "-Schein". It is not necessary to directly
update the papers. This saves money. ;-)
You have to mount brake pads from Braking for using these Discs. After
50km smooth riding they braked very good, just like the genuine Honda
discs I have on the other wheelset.
I'm very satisfied and finally I have a complete second wheelset for
cross tires. ;-)))
Here is the price: 400,-DM for the pair of discs and 88,17 DM for a
set of Braking brake pads including shipping and taxes. Additionally
you need 43,-DM for the TÜV (actually I went to DEKRA, because TÜV was
closed on Saturdays ;-)).
The vendor is:
Enduro Garage
Thomas Schlupf
Heinrichsgraben 14
91171 Greding-Untermässing
Tel and Fax: 08463/8580
Opening Hours daily 18-22:00.
I wonder because of the price of 141,- Euro on the ATIC pages, which
about 40% more than I paid...
