No - but they will fit a 400SX so I bagsy them ;^)

It's a bit of a gamble, because the photo isn't of the discs that are for sale...

The grooves are good the holes are not. I have been told by more than one performance brake supplier that cross drilled disks are for show not performance as they can crack under high heat loads/cycles.

Then again lots of bikes have drilled disks, maybe the weight/lifetime tradeoff is worth it?

I have just bought a new radiator fan from this company, only the first time I have used them but the guy on the phone knew his stuff and the fan turned up PDQ.

Go for multicolour leds and a sequencer for that mood lighting effect.

Hmm wires could be a problem. Using brushes and contact pads would not be too reliable so go for inductive pickups or build the entire setup into the hub and generate power directly from the rotation.

There could be a heat problem if you actually use the brakes so I would suggest disconnecting the front calipers and just using the rears.

These won't fit the 400/450 models, which have seperate mounting bells, and are 28mm thick (x 280mm IIRC).

Yep it's you!.... and the picture!

[adam quantrill]

As I said - the picture isn't of these particular discs (so they say).

I see you won them, Leigh, so let us know if they fit. I couldn't be bothered and went down the pub instead.

[TVRleigh]

Not had a chance to see if they will fit yet, but at the price I got them for I thought its worth the gamble.
Should be able to re-sell if they don't
