Re: gt brake discs question
Maybe worth noting, although the discs for the GT750 are interchangeable between the K, L, M, A and B models, on the inner part of the disc that bolts onto the wheel, (painted black) the pattern is different on the earlier K, L and M models to that on the A and B models. Not that it matters in the grand scheme (I've got the earlier discs on my A) but the purists might comment when it comes to selling the bike.
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

K and L models are the odd ones Steve with the square shaped bits it the middle - the M A and B all had the horseshoe shaped onesstevewharton wrote:Maybe worth noting, although the discs for the GT750 are interchangeable between the K, L, M, A and B models, on the inner part of the disc that bolts onto the wheel, (painted black) the pattern is different on the earlier K, L and M models to that on the A and B models.

Re: gt brake discs question
I stand corrected, but I was told that the replacement discs I fitted to my A were from an M model???

Re: gt brake discs question
I replaced the original discs on my A because they were worn and getting thin, the guy who sold me the very nice replacements told me they were off an M model. The originals had the horseshoe shaped pattern in the middle and the ones on now have a straighter shaped pattern. As I said it doesn't bother me at all, mainly because they're like new and I only paid £50 for them
