Dear Panos,
this is really NOT necessary because we have hydraulic brakes.
You can just replace the broken one, but be sure that the new one
will be of the same type. So the new one must be an original
Honda brake disc, if the other one is an original Honda one.
E.g. if the right disc is broken you can also use a left disc on the
right side it fits well. I made this experience 8 months ago and
everything works well. Falk Schmal from Cottbus also changed
only the broken one without any problems.
If you search for some time then in Germany it's possible to get
a used brake disc, but it's not easy but Falk and me we won
this battle {;-)
Rem.: Falk and me we also drive a RD04.
|My options now is either buy the original honda ones OR Brembo which

Hmm, are you sure that the Brembo ones are better. Who made this
experience ?
|What I am wondering is whether I need any further modifications, like
|different callipers, if I go ahead with the Brembo idea.
Can't help you here.
