Okay, i've read the reviews, some good positive feedback to start with, then i read your usual 'slag everything off' type of review as well.
What i can't figure out is, firstly, how i've not seen or heard of them before as i don't normally miss a trick and i went through a period of searching everywhere for a reasonably priced but good disc? They're even on Ebay so that would indicate to me there are no sizes for our bikes?
Secondly, their fitting guide concerning the "Faser" (sic) is a little bit odd especially where the years of manufacture are concerned?
And lastly they mention 'floating' discs in their guide, but in one of the reviews i read they mentioned 'fully' floating.
When they say fully floating are we talking jingly jangly noisy buggers or just riveted semi floaters?

What i've found since i've been using the internet is that people will trip over themselves to write a bad review about something, whether it's a hotel, holiday resort, bike parts, etc......but hardly anyone takes the time to write good reviews about things, they just take it and run, which is why things can get very confusing online when buying stuff.
When i plumped for the Kagizume discs on the front (and now matching rear
) of my bike the reviews were so mixed it was ridiculous, but now i've had them for a couple of years and they've honestly been fantastic, and paired with the Galfer pads they still look like new!I[size=1em] just emailed Blackshadow about discs for the Fazer so i'll let you know when i get a reply.
