K1300s front discs
« on: November 18, 2017, 01:47:41 pm »
There is a lot of movement on one of my front discs and rattles and I guess needs replacement.
Sherlocks have a used pair, 9000+ miles for £199 in excellent condition.
Should I buy them or new Brembo discs for the same almost the same price?
I haven't removed it for inspection and wonder what part is worn.
I'm tempted towards Sherlock's s/h as they are original, made of the right material etc.
Any advice ill be gratefully accepted.

New Brembos any day if it was me. Whats so great about BMW OE discs that are probably made by a supplier anyway as opposed to the no 1  leading brake manufacturer.

Wasn't there a post a year or so ago about cheap Brombo disks from Italy?

Yes I found it.
Did you buy your Brembos from carpimoto.com David and how good or bad were they

I haven't swapped my disks (yet). I just made a mental note of the post in anticipation.  If my disks needed replacing then I'd use these Brembos.

these are the discs David was looking at http://www.carpimoto.it/en-GB/Bike_BMW_K-1300-S/Specific/Brakes/Brake-Discs/23937_168B407D7-Brembo-Serie-Oro-Brake-Disc-168B407D7.htm
Are they the same as yours?

Look the same as I had for my GT been on a couple of years now with no problems

Your problem is not exactly the discs but the bobbins or washers on the mounting bolts.

Yup and some float more than others. If I wheel my GS I can hear the discs moving.

I can't remember if your bike has the bobbins attached to the discs?

Yes they do Tom although BMW call them rivets which I guess is more correct by the way they are fixed to the disc.
