Title: where to find "arashi" rotors
Post by: dougrs on May 15, 2014, 07:59:57 AM
I have searched the forum and read good reviews about the Arashi brake rotors. However when I search "fj1200 arashi" on ebay, I get no results. I am looking for front rotors for my '89 with blue dots.

I did find this cheaper set of rotors: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Brake-Disc-Rotor-YAMAHA-FJ-1200-88-95-89-90-91-92-93-94-/200880540996?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec569cd44&vxp=mtr (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Brake-Disc-Rotor-YAMAHA-FJ-1200-88-95-89-90-91-92-93-94-/200880540996?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec569cd44&vxp=mtr)

I don't want to buy junk but would like to save money. Can anyone point me to a good source for the Arashi front rotors for my '89?

If I need to spend the money on EBC or Galfer front rotors I will.
thanks,

-Doug

You will not find FJ1200 Arashi rotors listed as such.

The Arashi rotors have a distinct wave pattern and ONLY come in color choices of Gold or Black. The seller will most likely be located in Hong Kong, or China. When you look on the eBay page, look at the photos real well and you will see the name 'Arashi' with an oval stripe surrounding the name painted in white.
