In process of installing black Wilwood rotors and EBC extreme pro track day pads on my Slim...wanted to share a few

pics

 

I have the same rotors on my Bones. Can't beat the best bang for the buck

 

How long have you been running the Wilwood rotors? Hoping they hold up and hoping they look good after the pads wear through the black...

 

Back fininished (waiting on pads grrrrr) time to put front rotor on.

 

the black wears off but it doesnt look bad. i just recently got some noise out of mine i think i gummed up the pads wearing the black off. i suggest running your old pads a bit

 

Man those do look sharp. When you say they do not look "bad" after the black wears off, what do you consider bad? Got any pictures.

 

Here is a link to an old thread that has a pic of black worn off...https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-glide-models/938714-pics-of-black-rotors.html

Q: What do the black rotors look like once they are bedded-in?

A: The annulus (where the pad comes in contact with the rotor) is quickly stripped of the e-coating and appears the same as any iron rotor. The e-coating remains in the radius around the drilled holes, and in the slots providing a nice contrast and high visibility of the drilled and slotting pattern of the rotor, as well as protecting those areas from rust.

Q: Why are my rotors black, I wanted zinc?

A: Wilwood uses a process called “E-Coating” to protect our rotors from corrosion. E-coating is another name for electrocoating, electropainting, or electrophoretic lacquering. It is used to deposit a protective coating as opposed to a metal such as is deposited by electroplating. Parts are dipped into a vat of the e-coat material and are electrified in order to promote a reaction at the surface, which deposits the protective agent. Through this process, we ensure that all exposed surfaces are protected from corrosion, providing the very best in protection. You can still order Zinc plated rotors as an option, but keep in mind that the zinc coating is more expensive and offers less rust protection than e-coat.

 

When was the last time a rotor had a corrosion issue?

 

Mine look as good as any other rotors I've had/ seen. No regrets, kept my wallet happy
