NinjaNick Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I guess it's a fad that got developed on a gsxr forum. Taking off the front rotors because it looks good and saves weight they said? Oh EM GEE!They're always attracted to GSXR's it seems too. <---The people who do things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 You can't be serious... If that's the new fad, I'll continue to be an unhip square, with front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler524 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just another way to filter the gene pool and why gsxr insurance rates are $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coyote Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 You shouldn't use the front brake anyway--It'll flip you over!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Lol, I have several friends that build custom bikes that have no front brakes.... But yah, they aren't for passengers or going more than 35 mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 My friend looked at a TLR onetime with only 1 front brake rotor the guy took it off cuz he said he couldn't see the bling bling wheels...what a tard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 i can maybe understand the chopper/bobber thing with just a rear brake. Two totally different styles of riding. but jebus that is scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obesityrules Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 if that is the new fad than you already missed it because that picture has been floating around the internet for the past 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 i can maybe understand the chopper/bobber thing with just a rear brake. Two totally different styles of riding. but jebus that is scary!lol yeah but it still sucks riding a bobber with no front brake. you have to plan your stop a good 50-100 feet before you would if you had a front brake...if you see a stop sign coming up thats one thing, you can plan for that, but when someone pulls out in front of you... good luck lol.

Steve Butters Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 A lot of drag racers remove one front rotor to save weight....that bike has none but still has caliper? Looks shopped....you sure the new fad is removing both rotors not just one? Stupid either way but to totally different extents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamez Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 It seems everytime I see something totally unsafe, stupid, and rediculous its always a gsxr. Why is that? Is there some cosmic force that draws absolute morons to this bike?They seem like pretty cool bikes but I guess I'm just not mentally retarded enough to buy one.

Good job on Suzuki's part. Nothing wrong with the bikes either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The caliper is on there because it mounts there. You don't need to remove those. I also thought it was shopped as well, but was told wrong on another site that has seen people post their pictures of it done and that they were doing it.

Steve Butters Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ya but why leave caliper if your goal of removing rotors is weight savings? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e-flores Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Ya but why leave caliper if your goal of removing rotors is weight savings? Lolthis.... but the rotors are considered sprung weight and hold inertial qualities.... but still, no need for the calipers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler524 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 this.... but the rotors are considered sprung weight and hold inertial qualities.... but still, no need for the calipers....I have a feeling that the idiots removing the rotors don't know how to actually remove the calipers and brake lines.
