ABE All bike engineering
#1
Has any of you experienced brake disks from ABE?  UK manufactured (apparently)  for the 600 they're priced at £110 each.  Surely must be better than going Chinese.
Other options are EBC @ £149 each+post
or
having mine straightened @ £60 pair  great option except my disks are measuring 3.4mm


Any thoughts

Would've thought 3.4mm is way too thin anyway, not that i would ever consider having them straightened.

I fitted an ABE disk to the back of my Tiger. No issues that I can tell.

Both of these companies are spot on. I haven't bought discs from either, but ABE rebuilt a rear shock on my GS1150, and Maidstone Motoliner straightened a rim and a rear subframe. Would recommend either.

ABE refurbished two sets of Honda front rotors and re-buttoned them to their carriers for me, terrific job. Their fork stanchions are good too.
is it clean enough?

Good luck with that, it's a horrible job if it doesn't go well Sad

I currently have all 6 studs on the rear wheel snapped, which now require drilling out

There is ALWAYS ALWAYS one -----= I mean focing ALWAYS
I am convinced that there is a demon in every factory that makes everything, and he sneaks up and gives the bolt/screw one last tweek and the focs off sniggering to himself
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.

Bit late I know, but used them a while ago to get a shock refurbed for my wife's CBF500. Did good job, turned it round pretty quick, no complaints.

They were in process of moving workshops at the time (Nov 2016 ish), I presume their in a big new building now?
