boilerdude Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Does anybody know where to get replaceable snap ring bobbins in the larger 16 mm type for our old gs bikes? Quote Link to comment

Gammaboy Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Depending on bobbin size, this guy: https://www.Eblag.co.uk/itm/Motorcycle-floating-front-brake-disc-Bobbins-amp-Circlip-sets-034-Blackshadow-Uk-034-/302497646699? Doh, just saw you said 16mm. Those are 14mm, so no good. Edited November 7, 2017 by Gammaboy 1 Quote Link to comment
boilerdude Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) The wheel swap thing... I had an idea to retain use of the stock ef caliper and bracket. And still have that nice giant 275mm rotor out back. The idea was I would have the gsxr rear disc machined to be the new center for the efe floating track. Adopting the bolt pattern and eliminating the unnecessary offset in one slick move. But I would need to be able to find replaceable bobbins. Which are a special big size for our old suzukis. I already popped one out to have a look. 16mm . If I cant find replaceable 16mmtype bobbins the idea could still work I would just need to find a different 275ish mm disc with the replaceable kind. And then have a gsxr disc machined to be the carrier for that... provided vent holes dont get in the way... No matter as Ive got the teapot bracket on the way so I'm just gonna get through this the regular way and go riding asap. But it could still be a fun project on the side. Ive got plenty of gsxr/bandit rear discs around. Edited November 8, 2017 by boilerdude Quote Link to comment
Blubber Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I have no idea about if the thickness is correct but.. this company sells buttons of 16mm . at least that is what their website makes me believe. https://www.performanceparts.de/en/Brake-Disc-Buttons/Brake-disc-buttons-floater-16mm-x-5-5mm-with-smaller-flange.html floater button 16mm 1 Quote Link to comment
