i have a 92 fireblade cbr900 rrn
im after some new front brake disks as i think 1 is warped, it shudders liek fuck when brakes are applied but its neigh on impossible to find any for a reasonable figure

i dont wanna be paying £300 on a set of brakes

92 type are hard to find and 94 onwards wont fit

any ideas most welcome, you may even have some in the shed

yea that or mooch through the breakers or ebay to be honesti'd think of upgrading them though if you'v managed to warp them, or was it cos they were worn in the first place, you don't wanna find a pair them warp them after a few weeks cos they have been hammered

yea but thats a hell of a lot of bike for a grand if you think about it, so i think throwing some money at it wouldn't be a bad idea, your headstock and seals will only take half a day if you have a haynes and a good understanding,

also with your disks i wouldn't go for anything except some GOOD aftermarket ones or genuine ones but will guess upgraded ones will come cheaper than honda prices , it's a must if you give them abuse esp with them being the only thing stopping you hitting things i'v been away from the bike scene so can't help you alot with makes atm i'm sure it's changed a bit since i was last involved,

wouldn't mind a nice blade but think i'll be using my srad it's a bit more tame after not being in the sadle for nearly 2 years god i can't wait though i miss the power so much and the feel on a bike there is nothing like it

i'd put my money on them being the original discs, they will have been used once or twice over the 17 year period theyve been on the bike
