        For those interested. The rotors of the Honda NT600 should fit out of the box onto the GS850 et al.

        Nice feature on the site is the search by dimensions option.


        Just bought the SV650 calipers. So milling the brackets will be the fiddling bit.

            Nice Find. We didn't get those in the US so finding second hand rotors will be a pain over here.

            You'll definitely need to relocate both bolt holes with a 320mm rotor, will finish up with a bit more power over using the 300mm CBR ones I should think!

                You could go for the NT650 bros (Hawk). I think that one was made for America et al.



                For my own project i have to stick with the original rotors. MOTs final word

                    Some basic calculus for stability and MOT:
