So is there such a thing? mines started to squeel like ive stepped on a cat so i think its time to change it! (its not my pads ive checked them and it was an advisory on my MOT)

so ive seen EBC ones....but they're Â£100 even on ebay.....

what about these?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vfr400-rear-wavey ... dZViewItem

even though i hate really wavy disks its cheap so i dunno

would it just be naff though? i know i should steer clear of the Â£30 ones from hong kong.....should i though????

and finally do you reckon i could jack the bike up via the right rearset onto the sidestand to get the back wheel off the ground? (i dont have a paddock stand)

anyone have any decent recommendations?

BMC racing are selling rear disks that are half kilo lighter than standard, race proven and only Â£45

and as for jacking it up if uv got fixed foot pegs get a pair of axle stands for holding cars and lif tth bike up and rest the pegs on these

I bought the same one from e-Bay a year or more ago. To be honest, it was more for show than anything as I never use the rear brake and I have wavey fronts. Once fitted though you can hardly notice it,

Race use ONLY
unless you dont use the rear brake. but it sounds like this guy does. so id say there out of the question tbh.

They aren't bar ends, it's a 1-piece tubular alloy bar from Rick Oliver.

Well i ended up winning the wavy rear disk on ebay.....less than 1/2 the price of an EBC so its saved me a bit....i just hope its as high quality...

I guess it'll add a bit of class to the rear end....i may start to like wavy disks ha ha.
