Looking for an outer Ring for my rotor

[AJ SMOOTH]

I have a 2006 K-9, and of course I was taking my bike to the mechanic over the years for service, thinking they would check the ware on the brake pads. Well I had someone look at the rear rotor and I was too late, metal to metal and now I have to replace the rotor. I am looking for an outer ring or disc for my rear rotor. I want to keep the carrier it came with that matches the pulley and wheels. I understand Brembo was the manufacture that Big Dog used but they sent me to a company in the US of "TAW"...still no luck. I spoke with a PM rep and they don't have a ring to fit either. So does anyone know if it is possible to just get the ring or do I have to spend $750 in order to have two matching rotors:angry:
I have attached photos of my rotors.
Thanks in advance

You can check with these folks.

I was going to bring one in to verify all dimensions because Wild Steed Worx will be manufacturing a revised carrier but just haven't had the tiem yet.

I am fairly sure you can not replace the outer ring on a rotor. You will have to replace the entire rotor.

What makes you fairly sure of that RoadRoider?

Looks like the "rivets" are pressed to hold the rotor to the inner mount....not sure

Thanks KaptinaAmerika, I will see what they have to say, it appears this company may be able to help. I will let you guys know what they say.

If you have a rotor with rivets you can drill the rivers out and install new ones. You do not have to change the carrier unless the rivet areas are badly worn.

We have plenty of friction discs or complete rotors for your K-9. PM me.

AJ, missed you at the party last week!

Curtis , my thought was unless you can send the entire rotor in to maybe have the outer ring installed ,it is not something the average guy can install. My second thought is the liability of installing the outer ring to a used inner ring is huge and anyone taking that liability on would be fullish . The inner ring is going to have wear and possible damage [even if not visible to the naked eye ] from the excessive heat caused by the metal to metal contact and just the usage over many miles.

There you go, I got one from bigdogpartskin that I keep as a spare. Does not have the cut off half moons in between the pin holes but it fits and as a spare it will do in a pinch.

From a service oriented business side I understand to some degree. But there is a lot of leeway when it comes to floating rotors.
Just my opinion although I do agree that your "average" rider probably shouldn't try doing it on their own. I'm on my 2nd rear friction plate with the same carrier. The carrier is in need of replacement now though.

My rotor buttons have c clips installed for disassembly

You can buy the 10 button kit to replace the buttons but if your rotor is worn you will still have play in it. That would be time to replace the entire order

I ordered the whole rotor assy from bigdogpartskin...:2thumbs:

I would like to thank all of you for your input and suggestions. I did go with Kaptinamrika and contacted All American Wheel Inc. and spoke with Donna about a Friction Plate for my rotor and she advised me that they do sell them. I did purchase one and let me tell you that the price was right, and they warrantied that if the rotor didn't fit, I can send it back and get a full refund...can't beat that. Anyway, I plan on putting it on this week and I will take pictures on a "How to replace the friction plate" (I have to give Gas Man the credit for the pics and how too). I will let you know when it is done and then place it on the "How to" section of the forum.

I will be purchasing rotors from them when I start selling the new WSW rotor carrier design

FYI...ALL AMERICAN WHEEL did not have the correct friction plate for my 2006 K-9. Lizette (not Donna as mentioned in my previous post) was the contact person for AAW and they sent UPS to my door to take back the rotor and buttons with a full refund.

I ordered the Friction plate and buttons from "bigdogpartsking" and it was shipped out yesterday, cost $165.00 with shipping. It would cost approx. $300 with the carrier.
