I'm looking for a specific brake rotor set for my bike. They have the name "bat" something in this particular design. I have looked at several aftermarket brands and can't find what I'm looking for. Can anyone help me?
I'll know it if I see it, it has been fairly popular choice. Thanks.

I think your looking for the Braking Batfly rotor.

@kawas84 - Just out of curiosity, why are you choosing those over other brands?

It was between the Batfly or a Galfer design, no real science behind it, other than I like the design and have seen it on some ohter bikes. I know the performance is good, probably equal to what Galfer offers, so it just came down to preference.

Solid rotor>Floating rotor. If you going to spend that kind of money, go with a Motostuff.com 280 blade kit. Best looking and performing brake set-up money can buy.

Got it...It's no secret I'm a fan of the Galfer stuff. I've just heard too many stories about quality control issues with Braking as of late.

I'd do some research. There's a reason KTM runs Galfer rotors stock on all their bikes (with the exception of some street models.) If you're going to drop the coin, I'd be sure you know what you're getting.

For the money, I'd get SS line first...you'll notice a huge difference and its a cheaper upgrade.

Happy shopping...

Thanks, Zaugg, I haven't made the purchase yet, so now I'm going to take a look at the SS.

I'd do lines...then pads...then rotors. Make changes incrementally. That applies to more than braking parts. haha

I have used their 270 and 280 kits on my Hondas, they are awesome parts for sure. Much lighter than the Galfer or Braking product as well.

They are on the Geico/FC race bikes and factory Honda for a reason.

Now, I got to check this out as well, one reason I wanted to change em is to go with something lighter than stock.
I'm going to upgrade my lines now as well.
