Disc Brake spacers for Skorpion sport

Postby 2stroke1971 » Tue Oct 13, 2015 3:36 pm

The spacers on my 1995 skorpion sport are worn out...the ones that sit between the inner and outer discs on the front brake. Are these available anywhere? There is too much play in mine for sure...chatters a bit when braking.

Thanks,
Neil

Good question. The discs are the same as the Honda nsr125 but you'll have to explore what years if I remember so that would broaden the search. I replaced my front disc with one a while back but had to take the disc apart and fit the inner the other way round as the Skorpion one rotates opposite way round and build back up.

about 10 years ago I replaced all the buttons on my Sport front disk with some aluminum ones from a late K series BMW. They work great but do wear over time. That being said these are "floating" disks so some movement is expected.

I didn't, I just bolted it on inside out.

It fits on the left hand side on the Honda Foxeye, produced all thru the 90's, so I just moved it to the right hand side without turning it round.

Then added a Ducati Monster 600 caliper and and unknown, Brembo master cylinder and now have to be careful!

Should have added that some Foxeyes have solid front discs, but if it floats it's ours.

Thought I would update this one.
Found a set of Buttons for it. Just search "Brembo buttons" on Ebay. 45 bucks. was not listed for the Skorpion, but said "For all full floating Brembo discs"......
Still havent put them on yet...gotta do fork seals and when I drop the forks for that I will do the buttons, Could probaly do them with the disc in situ, but figure it will be tons easier to pull the disc whilst Ive got the fork tubes out.
