Wouldnt trust a £35 Chinese disc to help keep me out of harms way! :eek  Brembo have their reputation to uphold -cant see why they are so much cheaper than Yamaha-but then there a greedy bunch :'(  cant think why there should be any difference in performance that would justify the price difference.

Would not touch the Chinese one, I have seen a few cracked.
Brembo or EBC should be fine,

Brembo, EBC, Stealth, Armstrong (I have their wavy discs on both ends of mine), any recognised name but I'd steer clear of the Chinese stuff. 

There's several folks on the US forum who've fitted Chinese ones and have been very happy but brakes aren't something I'd take a punt on.

ive got a chinese copy of a floating 320mm Braking Disc on a supermoto and have to say the only difference ( ihave original Braking discs also) is they a 1mm thinner, cant fault the quality. Performance equals the original too at less than half the price. Dont you think some manufacturers are taking the piss with there prices ?

The Brembo will at least match, if not exceed, the the quality of the Yamaha disc. I'd leave the Chinese stuff - quality can be inconsistent; some will be ok, some won't.

I've just brought one from this seller on ebay http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/zone-products?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/zone-products?_trksid=p2047675.l2559) they dont seem to be listing one at the min but might be worth contacting.
I'm really happy with it, would never have brought a chinese one, this company use british roll forged steel and its all coated and everything. Was only £38 inc postage and arrived next day.
hope this helps.
