Subject: Re: Where to get Discs for the front break ?



|I have the following problem. One of my front discs has a little wave so
|breaking becomes like horseriding. 
|Now here are my questions:
|first: did anybody make similar experiences ?
|second: Does anybody now where I can find cheaper discs than the original
|ones for nearly 600,- DM ?

Dear Mick,
a few weeks ago I destroyed one of my front brake discs with a disc lock.
You should try to get a used original disc. The left and the right disc
have two different part numbers, but this doesn't matter. At the moment
I have two right discs on my @. You should try every dealer
(for used parts) you can find. E.g. have a look in the in the german magazine 
"Motorrad".
I did this in the past and I found two dealers with an AT disc (but now
after a feew weeks this can be different) .
I buyed a used disc for 250,- + 15,- postage and C.O.D. at:

Heinemann GmbH
02833/2417

I found another one at:

MCM
09083/750

|third:Does anybody have any experience with discs from other vendors ?

Have a look at:

 Remark: Polo also sells the Spiegler discs. 

|(Scheuerlein Zweiradsport here in Germany is offering a set of two discs
|from a spanish manufacturer for 300,- DM - does anybody now this/ has
|expierience with them ?)

No experience with this ones. Another dealer MGH in Detmold told me about 
a product he (his customers) made some good experiences with. 
If you are interested I can search his telephone number.


Hope this helps,

  ToM
