I was just wondering everyones opinion on wave style rotors. Iv read a lot about them, from what I can tell they only really perform their absolute best under extreme braking. I assume thats why they use them in racing. I am probably wrong though. I want to put some on my Nightster, cause I think that would look sick but I dont want to sacrafice performance or safety for looks. I like to just put put around, Im not really a GP Moto racer on the street. Let me know what yall think about these.

 

They look pretty cool. Dont know anything else about them. I can tell you that my mountain bike had similar style rotors and they were this way to maximize braking power which is essential in mountain bike riding. I would assume the same goes for these..

 

I think the only benefit of a wave style rotor is the reduction in unsprung weight. Now a drilled and slotted wave rotor will also dissipate heat better, which will give you better braking performance, less fade. Where did you find a wave style rotor to fit a sportster?

 

yeah they prolly dissipate heat a lot better as powerstroke put it but not so sure you need something like that to stop a nightster. i run sun slotted rotors on my track bike and they stop like no other but you're talkin breaking from speeds over 160 at times.

 

I just really like the look of wave rotors been trying to find some that fit the sportsters but had no luck. I cant imagine them not being an improvement over stock.

 

I found them here.
