I am very happy to say I have a new ride, well new to me. However I think one of the front discs is warped and need to replace them.
Can anyone tell me which is a good brand that will offer good stopping ability and also durability?
I am so glad to have something descent again :D:D:
What bike is it?
Aprilia SL1000 Falco.
Look at ebay (yeah I hate them too), The fitment of the standard discs is the best look for Brembo or Grimeca makes as they are the standard fitment. Most on ebay go for less than £200 for the pair.

try allbikes, abe in greenwich, if just disc warped they might be able to use your carrier etc, save ya some cash, if not might do ya a deal or a pr or 1.
Armstromg wavey, just put em on my bird great.
Dont get the ones from China, soft and dont last.
good luck
Thanks for the advice, that is quite a comprehensive list. Some good contacts too cheers.
Gotta be originals with original pads? But then that’s me. I always like orginal stuff when it comes to brake discs.
Thanks for reminding me John, I keep forgetting about those guys, must pop over sometime and see what they can do for the Gixxer, it’s about time I upgraded mine, they make/supply stuff to order don’t they?
I’ve got Black Shadow discs on my ZX6R. They were £180 for a set of fronts and only £20 for the rear one. They’re excellent and with the 4 pots I’ve got on, they do the job of stopping rather well.
Got some coming which have come from a Leverda, from what I gathered they have seen very little mileage so looking forward to getting them fitted next week. :D:D
them ones!
i looked into these for the SV, looked well made and alot better than chinese made ones and better than armstrong’s on price.
i’d give these a go dunc:)
