The KTM power parts upgrade was around US$500 which I found excessively expensive. I found out that it&#8217;s not actually made my KTM, it&#8217;s made by Galfer. The cheapest I could find that brand for was US$250, still too expensive. I found one on Aliexpress for US$75 and it has arrived. The only problem I have now is sourcing the extended caliper mounting bolts and spacers so I can fit it. The bolts are an unusual size, M8x1.0 pitch 70mm long with 30mm of thread. The disk supplier said he was trying to get them for me, then I had no contact with him for a few days. I&#8217;ve tried to buy locally, but no-one has them. Today the disk supplier contacted me and said he has the bolts and spacers, so now I&#8217;m waiting for him to list them so I can actually buy them!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/320mm-KTM-floating-disk-Aliexpress.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-541\" src=\"https:\/\/www.witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/320mm-KTM-floating-disk-Aliexpress.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/320mm-KTM-floating-disk-Aliexpress.jpg 450w, https:\/\/witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/320mm-KTM-floating-disk-Aliexpress-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KTM-Caliper-bolts.resized.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-542\" src=\"https:\/\/www.witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KTM-Caliper-bolts.resized.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"936\" height=\"1248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KTM-Caliper-bolts.resized.jpg 936w, https:\/\/witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KTM-Caliper-bolts.resized-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/witham.net.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/KTM-Caliper-bolts.resized-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After I had ridden the new 2017 KTM Duke 390 I decided that I wanted a better front brake, like the new one has.
