You can also see the PB block off plate. Looks good, I haven't had a problem with my Z's rear rotor yet.
Proof that I actually did it...

Definitely! I had to back the parking brake adjuster out quite a bit before it would fit. Seems to be fine, though. It still rolls pretty well.is that rotor thicker than the factory? it looks like it is from the pic.[/b]
right on. it looks much better too. cross drilled rotors have that "racer" look. :wink:
what is wrong with the stock rotor?
it warps and consequently squeals.
Looks barely ridden. How long have you have your Z?
I've had it since the beginning of July, but I've only gotten to ride it about 5 or 6 times. I'm just now starting to bring it out of the break-in stage.
Does anyone know why the rotor on these things are so bad. I think I only rode about 2 times before I noticed it was warped. I rarely used the back break in those 2 times. So I don't think I heated it up that bad. When I went to wax my chain I noticed it. Oh well, along with replacing everything else I can just add that to the list.
Its funny, I drive my Z hard and my rear rotor is fine.
Maybe there was just a bad batch of rotors on the American models. :roll: Mine started squeaking on the first ride.
thanx for the info and pics....sweet idea.

those holes that every other manufacturer puts in their brake disks serve a purpose! COOLING!!!! heating with rapid cooling will warp a rotor off by as much as 5 degrees!

I had taken the picture down from my picture website. I fixed it.
i have ridden mine hard and used the back brakes quite a bit and they never sqeak or anything like that
Funny. Like I said, it was probably just a bad batch. Mine was squeaking from day one.
