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?

Bling??

A snap from my local Taipei bike dealer

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

Havn't riden withem yet & I bought them because mine were fooked I think they look ok & ther a lot lighter the brembos.

..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..

duc daz 10-Mar-2006 21:54

i saw a 749 the other week with wavey,s on they look some thing special;)

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.
