    Just Hit 70,000 miles and need front and rear replacements. Have any of you guys tried Arashi?

    I would never, never buy no brand (or store brand) disc rotors and pads, and the TR650 is not a bike that really needs floating rotors. If you managed to run for 70000 with the original discs, that tells me that the original discs are the one to buy. Together with SBS pads (at least IMHO).

    I've considered replacing the front with a lighter one, probably floating as well. The stock ones are made by Sunstar (at least on my USA bike) and the front is quite heavy. I know the DOT has some funny requirements about rotors etc for certification so other market bikes might be different.

    But it works OK and not worn out so will probably stay on there until something doesn't work well.

    Anybody Know of a 310mm brake disc that will fit a Strada/Terra front wheel assembly?
