I got myself a set of Braketech rotors from Kawasuki and had only used them cruzing around towen and at the drags over the last couple of weeks. Last week a member of this forum called to ask what I though of them and I told him that I couldnt really comment as they hadnt had time to bed in or been used in anger. I did comment that they rattle like a Ducati dry clutch and were annoying around town.
Well yesterday I went for a 500k plus run with the guys from Perth Street Bikes, we rode through the southwest (WA) on some of the best roads I have seen in Australia 90% - of that distance was twisty.
My bike has had braided lines and EBC pads for about the last 2 years and I thought the brakes were pretty good. After about 10k's the pads had settled in and I have to say that the Braketech front rotors made a huge difference both initial bite and feel were a big improvement over stock.
Ray you have no idea how it burns me to say that you and Glen were right the Braketech rotors are a big improvement over stock.
