Got a 2002 gen1, going to use a run out guage to check my discs and if I need some then ill need to bite the bullet. I've seen some oe ones from dk motorcycles on eBay for £200 a pair. I've brembo's fitted but these are Sunstar ones. Question is will they fit and how come the oe ones are sunstar rather than brembo??

The oem switched to Sunstar somewhere around the Gen 2's I think.
They are ok but a few have had bobbin wear with them.

Some are using the aftermarket ones from wales with good results. Black Hawk or something similar.

Yeah, black shadow I've rung them for a price and they were reasonable. I've always used oe discs and at £200 for the pair doesn't seem ridiculous in price.
