I've drilled holes in them...that's where I hook my ocky straps. Works mint :thumbup:

I am interested to know how much the front wheel heats up with fixed steel rotors. My rotors are floating and the rotor temperature can be ferocious. Haven't measured it but over 200c easily. Naturally there is no heat transfer from a floater but your disks might.

Well I've done some riding in the rain since last post and I have to say the s/s rotors and sintered pads from Metalgear work a treat. Two finger stops in the rain. Pulls up real good. Best part...after two weeks sitting under a cover out in the weather at the airport...no rust messing up my white rims in the wet. Look great, work mint. :thumbup:

I've just reread the whole thread and you've done a great job Lane.I think I might try the relay thing myself after I get it all together although I have no idea what I'm doing with electrickery things :wacko: .
I tried looking up the stainless rotors on Ebay but could'nt find any for the Sport.I'll have another look tonight.
Cheers
Andrew

I thought the Paso and the 750 shared the wheels and brakes?

Thanks Andrew, it was a labour of love and an ongoing project :D
I'm sure you know how that feels?
