Are people still using Arashi discs? Can't seem to find any recent advice. Cheers, Allan

If you're in the UK on many bikes for many years I've used EBC.

Picked up a 20101 bike last Oct  which had EBC discs on it and 10000 on the clocks.  For whatever reason the discs were warped to buggery.  Replaced them with Arashi discs bought through Aliexpress.com.  Arrived in about 7 days and no import duty.  Paid about £130 as I remember.  Easy swap out and they are as good as gold.  This is the 3rd bike I've fitted them to and never had a problem

I have 31k miles on my Arashi disks and they hardly look worn. When these wear out, will replace with the same.  :punk:

EBC HH when I changed the disks, but now has SBS HH fitted.
Both are pretty good but prefer the SBS.
