Title: Front Rotors
Post by: mimmo66 on August 30, 2010, 07:45:37 PM

Has anyone tried these rotors yet?

It seems a good price. All you have to do is pop old rotors out and install new ones in with those rivets I think.

Just looking at some alternatives pricewise.

Thank you,
Domenico

I would check with the seller and see if the carrier or hub needs to be machined to accomplish this modification .

I had Spiegler Performance perform  their semi-floating conversion to the front rotors on my '84 LS .

They had to do some machining to make the parts fit the hub, or carrier .

I'm also planning to go this route although I have more options now that I have the K100RS front end on th ebike.
