The eBay listing says "Item Location: Wuxi, China" Did you need the name of the Company? (Message edited by jayvee on May 22, 2012) | ||

Also, don't miss this part: PLEASE READ BELOW DESCRIPTION EXACTLY TO AVOID DISPUTE IN THE FUTURE, ESPECIALLY FOR THE IMPORT TAXES AND FITTING SIZE!! YOU WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU SEE ON THE PICTURES!! International Buyers – Please Note: *Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. *Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. *These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up – do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. *We could not accept negative feedback due to custom tax. I've never imported anything directly from China before, so I have NO idea how that might factor into things, but it might be worth knowing before buying and seeing big additional fees when you try to receive the product...} (Message edited by Imaposer2 on May 22, 2012) | ||

it is missing the center part!!! | ||
| Imaposer2 |
While it might be important with a Chinese made part of unknown metallurgy and quality, the "missing center part" isn't that uncommon in aftermarket rotors. If the part is well designed and of good quality materials then that design can be strong while saving unsprung weight. | ||

"Did you need the name of the Company?" No. I totally missed where they were shipped from. I assumed they were shipped from the USA. Did not read the small print. I thought the rotor looked nice for the price.... That's all. Imaposer2 +1 on "missing center part"  (Message edited by onebadx1 on May 22, 2012) | ||

Uh, there is no 'center part' for tuber rear rotors, is there? Don't they just bolt to the wheel? I switched out my M2 slot style for the older holey style, and that's how I remember it. | ||

I assumed he was referring to this Buell version:  Or even the EBC race version:  As opposed to the Chinese one:  | ||

As ineffective as the rear disc is on a Tuber, I'm not sure that you would stress it enough to miss the center part... :-) | ||

Looks like it was stamped out in a hurry and then machined flat. Look at the black non-machined areas. See how uneven they are? I wouldn't be surprised if it was much harder on one side than the other due to sloppy heat treating. | ||
| Imaposer2 |
Heat treating? You mean you think they heat treated it?  Metallurgy can be very questionable in Chinese motorcycle parts. They are notorious for recycling metals and creating "alloys" of dubious content. I know nothing of this part or of its manufacturing methods, and I hate to dis something that I know nothing about, but me personally? While I might chance it on something like a catch tank, or other non-critical part, I wouldn't feel comfortable with a Chinese aftermarket brake disc of unknown origin. I may be fine, it may warp quickly, it may cause uneven or accelerate brake pad wear, it may stop well, it may not. Then, there is also the possibility that when you tap the pedal to settle the rear as you peel into a nice hot corner that the disc may decide to break instead of brake, lock your rear wheel and send you into a nice lurid rear wheel skid right into the large oak tree on the outside of that 60mph corner. Just sayin'...  | ||

I bought a whole set of those for my Eliminator. No issues at all and the bike is way heavier than the Buell could ever be.  | ||

Gonzo did yours come from the same seller or at least inexpensive from china? Its a decent looking rotor though it does look a little sloppy, though that may just be the pick. | ||

I don't know what you mean by 'sloppy'.....They are a very nice piece and they fit nice. We have a guy on the zloa.com website that has sold many a sets to my Eliminator brothers with no issues at all.......He buys them in bulk and sells them to the zl members.....I purchased a set from him and a set from the seller you have listed here...(I have 3 zl's) | ||

Not the one on your bike but the rotor image above seems to have uneven beveling along the edges. |
