Default OEM vs. Aftermarket parts...

I'm wondering if anyone recomends using Aftermarket parts or just stick with the high prices of Honda?


I'm looking for a Front Brake Disk for my 2003 cbr600rr.

Weigh the pros/cons of what you get from aftermarket. OEM parts are generally made to be non-specific (all things for all people). Aftermarket is for customization. Let me know what you find. I may get some rotors for my 2002 F4i now that you've brough it up.

if you are looking for stock replacement rotors, go with OEM. i mean come on. who makes "original equipment" better than the factory? i would use this as a chance to upgrade. hit up braking or galfer for a set of wavies.

Is there someone that makes OEM stuff for Honda M/C's? I thought there was only factory and aftermarket.

well, it depends on the part.
if you're swapping it out for racing, then you can't go factory...unless you do HRC parts...which are bling.
things like brakes, etc. i just go with other comparable companies, like galfer, ebc, etc.

but for something like a fuel filter, or whatever, just go with honda.
