Would be helpful to know if you have the early 4 bolt disks or the later 6 bolt disks as the offsets are different.

for your 4 bolt disks, we stock stainless EBC rotors
http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=1135

If you want to upgrade your brakes from the Brembo F08 calipers to modern 4 piston Brembo 30/34 we also stock them along with adapters to suit.
adapters http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=925
30/34 goldlines http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=895
GP Billets http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=1399

Of course you have a multitude to master cylinders to choose from as well for the above calipers, I would suggest the 916 or 996 type remote reservoir types
916 http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=785
996 http://shop.bevelheaven.com/detail.aspx?ID=913

and stainless steel brake lines [again we stock several different types], brake fluid [we stock DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 only in your BREMBO systems].

For 6 bolt wheels we have larger 300mm full floating brembo rotors, several kits available in our store, check them out.

I neglectd to note that the EBC 4 bolt rotors noted above are 280mm of and a direct bolt on situation.

I should also note that I will also have 6 bolt 280mm EBC rotors in the next day or so. EBC sent me 2x left sides and not a pair so they ave shipped me 2x rights now. These are a direct replacement for later bevel darmah, SS, MHR etc with 6 bolt 280mm rotors.

80mm ID for both 4 & 6 bolt rotors

Offsets are different between the two

The Brembo 300mm rotors are off 750F1, 851 etc but have the same offset as the 6 bolt 280mm bevel rotors.

No. The adapters work on 280mm and 300mm rotors with the same offset as the bevels had originally.

The newer bikes such as the monster you mention have a much shallower offset (dish) to them as well.

adaptors

Post by Steve SD »

Can you get adaptors for the 65mm calipers to 280mm EBC discs?
Can you get spacers and adaptors for a 320mm disc conversion on a 4 bolt? Surely an adaptor/spacer can be milled to bolt a 6 hole disc to a 4 bolt wheel?
Thanks

Yes
No
Why bother seeing as we have already come up with an overkill kit already, meaning specifically yes you can invent just about any adapter to put anything together but going 320mm plus a 4 piston caliper times 2 on the front of a bevel will most likely result in bent forks and or a bent frame in my opinion if you go that big.

There does not seem seem to be a listing in your online store for the 65mm adaptors? do you sell them?

They are not posted in my online store yet. The guy that makes to F08 to 40mm mount adapters for me mentioned he finished up some kit for 65mm calipers. He is on my list of people to talk to this week to get more info and possibly order some up.
