    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Will other rotors fit my 1150?

Need some advice from the more experienced folk: Has anyone identified direct bolt-on FR/RR rotors for 1150 from other bikes? No way I'm paying 200 per for EBCs, and the eBay offerings look just about wore out. I'm hoping to hear that some gsxrs or katana rotors will work. Thanks
 
See if chef1366 has some descent ones, I don't think there is a cross to another bike
You can also check the EBC catelog to see what other bikes might use your rotor and search for those used on the bay.
 
You are correct. Not one single occurrence of that part# for any other bike.

If '83 1100E calipers can be used with 1150 rotors...
perhaps you can just use '80-'83 slotted rotors instead? (They are thicker when new but, when worn... )

If the EBC catalog is anything to trust then there is no alternative to the exact application. Now I understand why the best price I could find was 185 each for new ones.

consider a switch to 2nd gen 17" GSXR upfront with a 17x4.5 or 18x4.5 rear. Keep your same forks. Just need new brake brackets. The rest is almost a bolt on as you don't have to change forks clip ons gauges or anything else. The 1150 forks are wide enough for the 17" front wheel and rotors.
 
I've been looking at swapping at least the front end to GSXR, but for now I just need a rear rotor that isn't all grooved up from the pads getting too low.
 
Just re-read your post. You meant just swap the wheels not the whole setup. That seems like a good first step in the process of upgrading.

If you still need rotors, let me know. I have a couple of extra used ones, and if your interested, this weekend I could pull them out and measure the min thickness.
 
Thanks, but I think I'm OK for now. My brakes are fine, the rear rotor is within spec, just a tad grooved but they stop fine once the pads bed in to conform. I was wondering if rotors from other makes or models have been swapped in.
