Title: Black Shadow Rear Disc
Post by: Red Biker on Monday, 22 January 2018, 04:33 AM
Hi Guys,
Has anyone got one of these rear discs? or experience with the supplier? I like the look of them but not heard the supplier mentioned here before.

i replaced my disc at 50000 miles with another stndard disc was £50 from suzuki a couple of years ago.
😎

never had a wavey rear disc but did have fronts for a summer a few years ago i didnt like the feel under braking but rear discs are fixed so might be lots better than the floating fronts.

:cheers:

Hi Nige - i know blackshadow well mate and can wholeheartedly say that Peter makes a great product - I winter tested for them when they were bringing out new ranges of discs - the ZX9r guys swore by blackshadow

hope this helps

That makes sense.
What i understood via via is that he stopped producing discs due to retirement and is selling whats left of the shelves.

Thanks anyway Del,
I don't really like any of the other rear discs out there so looking on the bright side, I've just saved £58.99  :hat:
