JHP use them on their 749 Supersport racer, and I can't believe they would fit them just for bling!

FWIW, I fitted a rear wavy on the "S" and it made a HUGE difference. I actually got some brake!

Chass, did you get some off him for your 749/999?

Is he the guy that does the 'cheap' wavey's on eBay?

Did you felt any improvement (or dowside) on braking performance?

..lots of interesting opinion.. I agree with Gizmo & madmav..and that's why I am worry...
I am looking at BRAKING wave disks.. may be made in Tapei also?
Look like is an aftermarket company specialized in brakes..

Anyway I am after improvement, if is just a bling (for the ones who like it..) I save my money..

A lot of "name" stuff is made over here but what makes the difference is the QC procedures companies specify and work to so the good brands spend more time and money on that and R and D hence it costs more, you'll be able to find discs which get fitted to cheap bikes but I'm not sure how comfortable I'd feel risking my life on a 160 mph superbike on them.
