Title: Hesketh V1000 MkII Rear Brake Disc
Post by: David S on February 07, 2017, 06:08:47 PM
For those lucky enough to own a V1000 with the Triumph based suspension and brakes upgrade I'd appreciate your help.

I want to get hold of a rear brake disc. I believe it to be 260mm diameter.

Can anyone provide me with some form of identification for the part, svp.

Here's a pic to help.

Hi David;

If you're using the Tiger 955i wheel and hub, the original disc was 310 mm and you'll be aware that Mick had the front discs on the Vulcan made specially (Spondon..?)  I think those specials were 305 mm..?

Anyway...  There is a really useful online resource here:  EBC Motorcycle Brake Catalogue (https://ebcbrakes.com/Assets/ecatalogues/2016_Intl_Motorcycle_Catalogue/UK-Intl-Motorcycle-Catalogue-2016.html)

The Triumph discs are scattered through the lists as EBC sort the catalogue by their own part numbers (For example the Tiger 310 mm discs are MD601LS/RS and the rear is an 'RS')

But...  I couldn't find ANY 260 mm Triumph fitments...  There are 250 mm and 255 mm discs and plenty of 310 mm listings...

Are you sure Mick didn't have bespoke rears made too..?

Hope that helps

Jeff
