80 series cruiser rear rotors in stainless??

Post by wopass »

my 80 series cruiser rear brake rotors keep rotting out, might have something to do with being dipped in the ocean now and then...

want to know if anyone makes/knows of stainless rear rotors so i can stop replacing the rotten ones every 12 months.

i hit the google but couldnt find much so need help!

Good luck with that. .I doubt it would meet the requirements of stopping ya bus..ss is darder from memory so pads would have to be softer? To even work..let alone be aloud..

stainless rotors are common place on high perf race bikes etc so why not on a 3 ton bus towing a 3 ton bath tub?

I agree with Wopass SS rotors and calipers are very common on trailers so why not on a 3ton bus.. I will be interested to see if you do come up with anything.
