INNOVATIVE PARTS FOR YOUR 'OLDEN GOLDIE'
Honda GoldWing Parts GL1000, GL1100, GL1200
Solid BRAKE DISC DRILLING (any bike) (not suitable for slotted discs)
This could be the best value for any money that you spend this year!
Those of you who regularly ride in the rain will know just how poor brakes with solid discs are when wet.
THEY ARE TERRIFYING! A GL1000 weighing 600lbs of bike plus rider just wants to keep on going!
There are many improvements you can make to the braking systems on these bikes but I have found the biggest improvement to wet weather braking is the drilling of the rotors or discs. You really cannot believe the difference it makes.
After I did mine, a number of people who had see either the bike or the pictures wanted the same done to theirs. Most machine shops just do not want to know; those that are willing are charging silly money per hour. So to help you, I have set up this service for the biking fraternity at what I believe to be fair rates.
Pattern A: This will be the same as my own bike with Radial holes. Pattern B: Swirl pattern. Pattern C: Bubble swirl
You can specify what diameter of hole you want from a choice of 5, 6 or 7mm in any order. Same pattern for front and rear.
Pattern C 54 bubble swirl holes. Graduated holes from 7mm down to 4mm
Pattern A 45 radial holes. Do not recommend 7mm holes on the outside circle.
Pattern B 42 swirl holes. Do not recommend 7mm holes on the outside circle.
PRICES :
Single disc: Pattern A & B: £18 plus return shipping. Pattern C: £23 plus return shipping.
Pair of same disc: Pattern A & B: £33 plus return shipping Pattern C: £42 plus return shipping.
Set of three discs: Pattern A & B: £50 plus return shipping Pattern C: £60 plus return shipping.
It takes around 4 hours to do a 3 disc set of A or B and around 5 hours for a 3 disc set of C, using Cobalt drills!
Strip and paint the disc centres: £8 each disc.
Turn-round is usually 2 - 3 days from receipt of the discs.
Working on a source of re-facing the discs. Contact us with any questions
Please use the link so that we can give you an accurate total costing for drilling (and painting if required) and returning your disc(s) to you.
NOT JUST WINGS!
This is a Lockheed disc off a 1976 Triumph TR7 750, bubble swirl drilled and the centre painted back and front with high temperature paint, and a nice CBX which we did all three discs for.
Whiskerfish, Webmaster , states:
"If anyone is looking at making improvements to their Old Wing the front brakes are absolutely in the top 5 things I would recommend.
Over the years I had been caught in too many heavy rain storms and not had any brakes with the stock system.
When riding in really heavy rain, the stock system can not shed water from the rotors fast enough to provide satisfactory braking even for a mini-bike!
Drilled rotors fix that and the M/C combined with the SS Lines provide a difference in feedback and feel and authority that is really just amazing.
Operating on a budget as most of us are I would spend the money on the M/C and SS lines then try and find someone local to drill the stock rotors. Strip and rebuild your Calipers with all new rubber and build the system up.
Then do a really thorough bleed and the difference may save your life !!"
