Default Rear Rotor Lightening

I sent my rear rotor off to get lightened. What do you think? It only cost $65 with shipping. I have included the link.

Nice! How does it affect your braking?

looks awesome...definitely would like to know if it affects your braking as wavey rotors are supposed to improve braking...

lightened is one thing, but that has to affect braking, at least if you use it alot, say track.

How much lighter could they be? I guess as far as cosmetics, they look really great, exotic, but as far as weight reduction, I would just take some rubber off of your tire edges to really lighten up the bike as well as lower rotating mass.

Ouch. Yeah I noticed the massive chicken strips when I posted the pic. I just got the tires and I am getting use to them. Atleast that is the excuse that I am sticking with.

As for my link to the axle spools. I just sent the dude that sells them an e-mail. He is currently out of stock and will be making some soon. Here is the link to his ebay store.

This is the link to the spools

wow...you have no rotor left...

since the rear brake sucks anyway, the affect on braking should be minimal...HAHAHAHHA...

i bet there's significant difference...there is barely any surface area left.

not a good idea for any type of performance riding.
