Has anyone mounted a Wave Rotor on their Buell?
Would you comment on:how you like it,what pads you used,Brakings claim that it resists warpage,where you got it,and what did you pay?

I got one on the front of my bike. I also bought the rear one too, but haven't installed it yet.

The front been on all last spring and summer. I bought it from Trojan. I talked to Braking, and they told to me to use the EBC green pads. The kevlar ones. I would advise against this!! I already have VERY noticable wear on the rotor, withing the few short months I ride. I was told any pad would work, but the Kevlar ones work best. They do work awesome, but not sure I like how much extra wear I have.

Hope this helps.

IMO most aftermarket rotors are a vast improvement over stock, but I really want a dual rotor setup for longevity of pads/rotors.

Trojan is a UK based buell accessory seller, American Sport Bike (a badweb sponsor) may carry the wave rotors, I'm not sure though.

There's a new system out. It has radial calipers, and wave rotors. Extreme light weight.
The bad news: It's over $10,000 installed
The good news: A brand new Kawasaki ZX-10R comes attached to it.
