    Has any1 fitted galfers to their 08+ blades?

    Was looking at fitting front and back but heard a few people say about vibrations under braking with wave discs

    If they vibrate they're either fitted wrongly or warped?

    Possibly. I only ran the new discs for a few months before i traded up for the blade and it was very slight. I was paranoid thou as the reason for upgrading to waveys was a warped disc so i was looking for vibration lol

    Yeah thats what the mechanic told me . It was only slight and when i gave my mate a go he could not even feel it so i think it may have just been me paranoid from having the previos disc warp

    Ran with Brembo and Galfer full floating discs eventually going back to the standard set.
    The wear on the rotor and bobbins are just too rapid for a road rider.
