Thx Roger...........I'll take pics when installed to close the thread.

I was going to call but thought we needed a lighter brake thread.......see Jims thread.

BTW...........I love getting your parcels; kinda like Xmas for the car everytime

In that case, the arc of the holes is merely cosmetic.

Not sure Doc.................as an old m/cycle guy the holes on bikes curved to the rear as in Bills pic so thats the way I'll fit them.

In Bill's pic the internal curved vents are curved to the rear, but the outside vents curve to the front. For the internal vents, the air enters at the hub and passes out through the top, hense the back ward facing exit. If those are installed backward with vents facing forward the air can't exit the vents.

It looks like your rear rotors have perpendicular internal vents and a curved hole pattern. I just can't think of any function affected by the curved pattern of the holes, one way or the other. Like Doc say's. Probably just cosmetic.

Doc,
You are wrong the arc of the holes is very important.
The arc must relate directly to the angle of the dangle and the heat of the meat.

Exactly what I wanted to confirm from the thread and given the hole pattern works in either direction I'll install the rotor in the pic on the RR, with the new pads and dampers.

Given that I changed the bias valve last year and flushed the system with 'Blue' brake fluid, new front pads I should be good to go...........unless that guy really wants S4 brakes then I may consider GTS upsize.

I would have no problem running those rears either direction.


Dang Roger. That was funny!

Too funny Roger

I missed that these were rear. Sorry.
