The ones on our chargers get rusty every time they're driven in the rain.

First couple of stops after that, they're nice and shiny again.

That said; my stock Triumph ones have never rusted.
 
EBC Discs are BILLET Carbon steel - not stainless. So yes they rust. OEM Triumph are Stainless.
If I were the guy in the shop I'd tell you to take a hike. You got what you paid for.

I have one on my spare set of wheels. You can keep the rust at bay with some light phosphate treatment. I have it for refurbishing guns.
Personally I'd rather have carbon steel or cast iron rotors.

Yes, it is a well know fact that non stainless disc's work far better.

Wouldn't it have been nice somewhere in the add where they're singing the praises of the piece of $hit, to mention that "Oh, by the way, it will make your ride look like it was pulled from a hurricane Katrina debris pile". I also didn't notice any difference in stopping power.
 
Here is my new EBC rear brake rotor. Been on a couple months. Bikes been washed twice, hasn't seen any appreciable rain. Lives inside. Has anyone else tried these ? Did yours look strange where the drill holes are like this one ? I'm going to send it back.

Fred, how does the inside of the rotor look? The same wear pattern or opposite?

I haven't really looked at the other side yet. I hope to pull it back off tonight. I'll take some more pics. It looked odd around the holes before I installed it. I'd never seen an EBC rotor in person so was not sure what the norm is.
 
The cool thing is all that rust will run off and collect around the bolts and they will never come out!!

I´m pretty sure that I did read NOT STAINLESS when I was looking for a disc. That means - expect rust. The place you bought it should have known. And the pictures show quite clearly they aint stainless. As for stopping power - You´ll only really notice if you REALLY stress them. The one I had on warped.

Not if when you replace the bolts (which you should anyway) you fit Titanium versions. They were cheaper than Triumph ones anyway.

I didn't know the stock ones were made of stainless steel. A magnet sticks to them rather well. I think the consumer should be warned about rust
