ludwig I am very interested in trying this. How deep is the cut and does it have to be machine shop exact? Meaning can it be done with an angle grinder, which won't be perfect, but could be done pretty good. Thanks for showing us all your mods, very inspiring.

Ok, it is finished. It is actually better than I expected. The road test was a joy. With the increased diameter frictional radius it should be 14% stronger due to mechanical advantage alone. The slick hard chrome oem surface has a terrible coefficient of friction and I knew it would improve. The A/N hoses replacing the oem rubber hoses gives a solid feel. The original rotor weighed 5 1/2 pounds, new one a little over 1 pound.

when you say increased diameter frictional radius, are you talking the rotor? what year was the ZX6 rotor from?
 
How has the brake upgrade been preforming? Any reviews from the rally?
 
I didn't know anyone at my first rally and there was no forum to show off the mods. But several people saw the brake mod and really liked it. I answered questions and will help however I can. I rode some 300 miles at the rally and the brake performed perfectly and beyond my hopes. I will not go back to the standard disc. Now I'm starting to think about the rear.
Maybe someone who saw it will chime in with their opinions.
