That's not a rotor.  First off, a chromed rotor wont stop any vehicle and second off, it just physically doesn't make sense.

It is for a show bike with no front brakes.

Yeah I don't get it. People go out and buy one of the fatest bikes in the world, then put a turbo on it, then put some fancy chrome wheels on it. Now I get all of this and I can understant the appeal of a super fast and customized 200mph insane bike. What I don't get, is when they take off the brakes so that you can see the fancy wheel better.  :cookoo:

Lets see, significantly  increase the power of the most powerfull bike out there, then cut the braking power in half.  :dunno_white:

If you don't belive in Darwin's theory of evolution, here is the proof  :laugh: I just hope that they kill themselves before they have the chance to pass on their genes

what I want to know is do they work at all?

It would seem like the caliper would close completly and then the rotor would slam into it that would suck.

It would bring you to a stop!!  But not in an enjoyable fashion!!  :laugh:

It is a show piece and that's all!  The caliper would be removed as well.

I didn't think so but I also did not read the disc. Just thought it looked wild so I had to bring it up.
