Galpher rotors on Hyper....
I wanted to give kudos to to the Galpher Brake Co.
After warping my stock Brembo front rotors, I went to Galpher front rotors & pads, but had warping issues with them too, (two sets) now I'm on my 3rd set, which Galpher made me a special one off set, that were precision ground to be ultra flat, had FULL floating buttons & balanced, same basic treatment that they use on their sponsored Super bike rotors.
I found that the Galphers stop & have better feel than the Brembos, with less brake fade. the Galphers are also 1/2 pound LESS for each rotor, so for you weight freaks, you can lose a full pound of rotating weight. 
Galpher told me that 90% of riders will never have a warping issue, and the 10% of them who do, Galpher will take care of them, like me! a GREAT company. Aloha Alex

so, when galfer set up this new pair for you, they did not install the "wave spacers" on the buttons? my galfer waves have the spacers, and as such, do not float as much as the set of axis rotors i had on my mh900e.

The full floating buttons on my latest Galphers have over sized buttons with "wave washers" on the backside with circlips, for up to 2mm more movement. Aloha Alex
