I know, i don't even wanna look at my bikes now.

WOW!! Those are absolutely beautiful.:woohoo:
Well done Dutch

That is just beautiful! Really nice design Dutch, you certainly have quite an eye for it.

Never knew there was such a thing as an online machine shop, pretty cool. Will have to keep that in mind...and start learning CAD.

Thanks Deak. Check out www.emachineshop.com
The software download is free and pretty user friendly, there are some tutorials on their website to help you get started. You can draw up something up and the program will calculate cost etc. It took me a few evenings before I got it right but it's not that hard.
Basically you can design whatever you like and mess around with it for free.
Only downside is it's their proprietary version of CAD, so the files you create only work for them and not your local CNC guy. But hey, it's not $4000 for the program...

Thanks fellas. I was really nervous whether I got the design and all the dimensions right since I'd never used CAD before. On top of that I was using an online machine shop, so I really just had to place the order and keep my fingers crossed.

As it turns out, the rotors fit perfectly and I even got the centers of the big holes right so the align with the scallops in the rotor part, you can see that really well in the second photo. They came out EXACTLY as I had in mind, I'm stoked!

are these rotors cast Iron?
and are you bolting them...with no way for them to expand?

not trying to be a smart ass...I bolted a set of Cast rotors onto a homemade carrier...and grenaded the rotor and nearly killed myself in the process...

beyond that...they do look great!

DAMN :woohoo: those things kill!
you have a very good eye for design.
are these something that would bolt onto a stock kz with a stock frontend?
not trying to get in your business or be nosey,(i know)but if you don't mind divulgeing how many dollars you have tied up in those rotors i am very curious.
if you don't want to tell,just tell me to get stuffed :ohmy: .
kicka$$ as always,

leon

Get stuffed! :laugh:
These are custom made for my front end, 6-bolt Z1 front hub with early, wide police front end, will not bolt on to a stocker.
I am in for less than half of what a set of PMC S1 rotors would set you back, and that was the other option. Actually, those were not 100% what I wanted (slotted discs are soooo eighties) and they did not have enough offset either. :blink:

Lou, Deak, OMR thanks, you're killin me here...

Ben (it is Ben, right?), thanks for looking out. Yes, the rotors are cast iron, but they are slotted and mounted on square spacers, which are then bolted to the carrier. They can expand freely and there is some side to side play as well.

Thanks for the link, appreciate it. I'm going to have to check it out. I have a few parts in mind that I could use this for.

Deacon, if they're not too complex, ask me about it first. I may be able to make something for you, and it wont cost much past materials.

The parts I have in mind are not complex, just a couple of small parts for the 350.
