check the listings in other aftermarket brake disc suppliers listings
they'll share part numbers for disc's that are the same .
so disc's that share part numbers for different bikes will be the same.

Older busa, gen 1, ´99-´07, discs are the same.
Gen 2, ´08-> is different.

Note as just found that bking(310mm) discs are 10mm smaller than the gsx1400(320mm)
As when mounting the brakes for the upside down front end the caliper fouls the disc .
Luckily there is a standard mount kit (5mm spacer)to make everything fit as it should (ebay is my friend).
:cheers:

I got some EBC disks from Demon Tweaks last year for mine, they list them for the 1400 so should be easy to find.  I had the same issue with last years MOT, is it on both disks?

I've got cheap Zone discs, once I tried different pads they work great. They don't like EBC pads but perform excellently with the dirt cheap Frento pads off Wemoto.

Same here, I had an MOT advisory last year - and to be fair, the brakes were a bit vibey.

Fitted a pair of EBC disks and pads, very happy with them.

I assume that the brakes are pulsing when you apply them?
This is usually caused by stuck caliper pistons. Discs very rarely warp.. I rebuilt my 4 pot Tokico's and freed off the seized disc buttons and they're ok now.
Have a read of this article...

I warped my original discs. Once the calipers have stuck pistons, just ride flat out till your brakes totally fade as I did at the Inchnadamph MCR & you'll warp the disks.
