virago rotor.. hmmmm

[gamorg02]

anyone here have a '96-'98 virago? looks like maybe the front rotors might be bolt ons to the rear and provide a nice match.

i have a question into these guys:

Just picked up a 93 Virago 1100 - rotors are different looking than those listed, not sure if same size tho.

If you think it may help, I can measure them tonight.

Just looking at those the one on the right looks to be warped, contact surface of rotor is not consistent in color all the way around.

yea i don't think id' buy them but i know a lot of guys would love a 'match'ing rear rotor.

Looks like this;

ah shit that isn't even close

Cheap

Anyone know anything about these rotors?

 

[gamorg02]

chinese ones i think steve

the ebay people responded 10.5" OD 5 7/8 " between opposing bolts

so i'll have to measure tonight.

Thanks Garrett, I was wondering. The price is right for sure. They look like they might be muti-directional?

You could put a front rotor on the back and use jedi's adapter.

haha thats actually my plan, but just saw a virago in the parking lot today so figured i'd ask!

According to my chart (which could be wrong) they are 267mm rotors which is approx 10.5". They do have the same bolt pattern. The OEM front and rear are both well larger then those. The smaller rotor may actually work with an adapter to reduce leverage on the rear making it less easy to lock up (requiring more effort to get the same braking power).

interesting thought. the new fronts are 298, what are the size of the original fronts/all year rears?

 

[one2dmax]

282 rear all years and front 85-92.
298 fronts for 93+

If you look most bikes are using smaller rear rotors and not larger.

Any chances that a bracket could be made to run a smaller rear rotor on the vmax?

Just curious.....

Of course you can... You can do whatever you want as long as you have the patience and the coins... :biglaugh:
Just needs to lower the bracket hole pattern the same amount as the radius difference. I can provide you with that if you like...

Cool. Thanks for the offer. I was planning to use a custom rear wheel that would accept the stock, front rotor. I bought an adapter from Sean to make that work. Plans changed and now it looks like I may be using a different wheel. Not sure if im going to use a rotor adapter to keep the Vmax rotor or go another route.

underslung!

 

[gamorg02]

hey sean -> would a rear rotor off an '01 fz1 work?

 

[one2dmax]

email me or if I remember to see this thread tomorrow I'll try and send you my spreadsheet for all the rotors/models with the same bolt pattern dived out by size.
