    Where is the best place to buy brake disks from? Probably EBC as I like
    them.
    New tyre's been fitted to a friends Harley Fat Boy and the fitters seem to
    have bent the bloody disk! Difficult to prove, but I've been over there and
    given them a ragging about it.
    I've looked EBC Direct, but can anybody recommend either a better disk
    option, or a cheaper supplier.
    TIA.

    What about Ebay? I managed a brand new rear genuine Mr Honda for the
    Blackbird at £12! Worth a punt even if you end up going somewhere else.

    I couldn't find anyone on eBay that had discs for my Zed. Well actually one
    supplier did, but they never arrived and instead I got a message saying they
    were having supplier problems and had refunded my money.

    I had a look on fleabay and there quite a few but I still think that the EBC
    ones are better than OEM.
    So I've ordered from ebcdirect. They are giving a 10% online discount at the
    moment, but I had a promo code that gave me an 5% as well.
    Sorted.

    Ah, I was going to suggest them. I've used them twice, now: once to
    replace a warped disc on my TLR and just recently to replace both
    fronts on my R1.

    Can't say how well they brake as yet because the TL replacement came
    just after a major front brake upgrade (new pads & hoses) and the R1's
    brakes still aren't fully bedded in yet.

    Roughly £200 for a pair of fronts isn't bad, and delivery was quick.

    They quoted £70 + vat each for the Trophy disks. I might have to change them
    if I have problems with the dealer /warranty.
    They do do Harley disk, as such, but they haven't got any and it would take
    a while to jig up to make them. They're quite urgent, so decided to pass.
    EBC direct will be able to supply them next week. Pricey though ;o(

    20 quid less than I paid for a pair of wavy discs.
