Stupid, aesthetic question here.

I have an S2 with a worn front rotor. It doesn't rattle, but the button sockets are worn enough that when holding the brake I can rock the bike fore and aft nearly 1/2". So, it needs a new rotor.

I have an S1W with low miles and a perfect Buell rotor on it.

I have an EBC front rotor with silver center (both bikes have white wheels).

Do I put the EBC on the S2 that I ride every day, and have an obvious "aftermarket" piece out in front? Or do I put the EBC on the S1W and use the S1W brake on the S2, to keep the S2 looking stock?

...you see what sorts of things I have to deal with when it's too crappy out to ride...

Thanks, Smoke. Not exactly the input I was hoping for though...



I like the EBC...I just can't decide if I want to change the look of the S2 in the name of the "better rotor".

Swap the S1 disc to the S2 and EBC the S1. They are the true hot rods of the group.

Al does have them, and your dealer should be able to get them thru Custom Chrome or Drag Specialties. Got mine from a co-worker who converted to dual discs though.
