So one of my front discs has a slight warp, only noticeable below 5mph i.e. when coming to a standstill. Its been like it for at least 18 months so it really doesn't affect riding. So this week it went in for an MOT and they finally noticed it (not enough for an advisory though). So while it's not an issue for the MOT I thought I'd ask how much (Ducati Aylesbury)...the service chaps initial guess was about £200 before checking...my reply was 'thats for both right?!'. Of course, the reply was each...anyway, he then checked properly and I heard a sharp intake of breath before announcing that one replacement disc from Ducati would be £350...!
I've now had a shop about and found an 'upgrade' disc 'Serie Oro' Brembo disc for £227. Whilst I've no intention of changing yet when it doesn't seem to affect the ride and passes an MOT, but was wondering if anyone could tell me if these Serie Oro discs are a genuine upgrade from the standard Brembo disc even if it is £120 cheaper per disc!
