I am sure I could get this info somewhere online but I have been searching around for about 2 hours now and I can't get a good answer.
Situation: I have a 2003 R6. I bought a set of wheels w/ rotors on ebay that were listed as fitting the 03-05 R6 and the R6S. I understood the rotors on the 03-04 R6 and the R6S were the same - 298mm. The front rotors on these new wheels are 310mm and the design of these suckers visually is like the 05 ONLY with a triangular hole in the carrier pattern. I can't find any other year or model that had that design.
Question: Does anyone know if the rotors from the 2005 R6 were used for any other year or model? Again, these have a triangular hole in the carrier design and I can't find any other model they has that design. Does anyone know if they will in fact fit on my 03? These are thinner by about 0.02" and they are a larger diameter (310mm vs. 298mm). I am tempted to try but don't want the seller to be able to say I damaged them.
Yes, I should have asked the dude why he listed it as fitting the 05 model when I expected it to only fit 03-04 and the R6S. I did not make the connection on the appearance either. So I didn't do enough leg work to make absolutely certain they'd fit. But I would in the end like to make these bastards work out. They're in phenomenal shape - which is another reason why I can't believe they are from an 05. They look brand new.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
