Hello All,
It's time to replace my rotors. I was wondering what brand to buy. I'm also going with stainless lines.
This is for a 1985 fj1100. Thanks any and all advice.

Thanks
Rory

My recommendation would be these.

Fred, just wondering why you are recommending these, with so many people here and elsewhere 100% happy with the 'Arashi' rotors, complete, for much the same money. Just bolt on and ride away.
These need to be riveted to the existing hubs and the rivets don't appear to be included.

I am pretty sure these are Arashi. On the 1100's and the 86'/87' 1200's there is no center hub for the rotors. The Center hub is part of the wheel. These rotors will bolt directly to the wheels just as they are.

Pretty sure your right fred, these are the same as I used on the standard 16" rear on the 1100 wheel , so as you say should be a direct fit to the 11 .
unless you ride bikes, I mean really ride bikes, then you just won't get it

84 Fj1100  effie , with mods
( 88 ) Fj 1200  fairly standard , + blue spots
84 Fj1100 absolutely stock standard, now more stock , fitted with Fj12 twin system , no rusted headers for this felicity jayne

Thanks Fred, that would be why.

 I bought these discs a few months back on Fred's  :good2:. Rebuilt the original calipers and have steel lines and all in all it's made a huge difference in stopping the ship. :good:
