Corsa Rotor Collection

Foggy 888

Here's my collection of Ducati Corsa rotors. First person to correctly identify all of the rotor applications wins a prize.

Why is it that with all of these rotors, none of them is the correct one for my bike? I am still looking for a pair of Brembo 320mm narrow-band Corsa rotors with large (25mm) offset, as used on the 1993 Ducati Works 888 race-bikes with 3-spoke Marchesini wheels. I will pay handsomely for them

That is a nice collection😎

This model ???

Ooohh! Thats looks like the rotor that I need. If it has an inside hole of 80mm/101.5 mm bolt circle for a Corsa wheel and a large offset of 25mm.

The later Corsa rotors for 5 spoke wheels have a very small offset of 10mm.

Are the rotors in the photo for sale? If so, how much are they?

Brembo no longer makes the rotors that I need, so I was going to have some copies of the early carriers made as the later outer friction surfaces are the same. The only problem is I can't find anyone with the early carrier that I can borrow to copy.

Please say that these are for sale!! or I would be willing to trade a brand new set of standard 888 Corsa rotors (see the photo, 3rd set down on the right side) for them.

Thanks,
Brian

Here is an image showing the difference in offset between the two types of Corsa rotors:

Phil911

Sorry Brian,

This set isn't for sale 🙁

I asked several times to the Italian owner.
He's not able to tell me how to find another set, even if we are convinced that some rotors are currently "sleeping" on shelves, somewhere !!!😡

One of my bike fits the early rotors too ... waiting for that rare model !!!

This looks like it might be close to what you are after. The site is in Japanese!

It looks like 320mm / 80mm / 26.5mm offset.
Click on the last disc in the middle row.

Thanks, that looks like the correct rotor. But when you click on the link, it takes you to an image of a normal Customer Corsa rotor that is not a Narrow-Band type.
I emailed them anyway to see if they can source the rotor that I need.

Thanks for your help!

There is a set with this hugh offset on Ebay for sale. Watch Racing Parts for Motorcycles. I don't have the link at this moment but as I remember they were also mounted on an old style Bimota. Don't search with 'Ducati'... maybe you're lucky 😄

Yes, i have got a set sleeping on shelves 😁 ,

I bought them thinking to use them one day, but yet i haven't got the good fork and wheel.

But i am so confused because i don't think to sale them at once

Those are the standard Brembo Corsa rotors that were fitted to the customer Corsa's that were sold over the counter.

Here is the eBay auction:

I have two sets of those. The rotors that I am looking for are the Narrow-Band type that were only fitted to Fogarty's and Fallapa's 1993 factory World Superbikes, very rare. If you look at the photo posted by Phil911, you can see the difference between the center carrier of the two types of rotors. The narrow-band has straight spokes, where the regular type has Y-shaped spokes

Ok, sorry.
I well see the same on your picture, but i thought they had an offset of 10mm.

Here are these very rare disks ...
When I point this pic, I'm furious against myself ...
2 years ago, the owner sent me this pic and asked me to make an offer.
I refused the 888 ...
Please don't blame me, I use to do it ... daily !!! 🙁 😡

Here is another pic received 2 years ago ... (once again !!!)
The owner of this bike was a US active member of the 851/888 yahoo list.
I remember is first name : Mark ...
Have a look on disks ...
May be an opportunity to get another set or to make a copy of the center carrier ???

Who is Mark ???
Where is Mark ???

Foggy888, I'm convinced that someone can help you from US !!!
If so, don't forget to ring me ...
Here, I feel sometimes alone in France regarding 888 Racing matters ...

Thanks for the link !!!
It's always a pleasure to discover such pics.
However, I'm still disappointed about the following points :

- Strange welds (???) on the frame.
- Wheels 3 spoke
- Battery holder
- Heads
- Fork legs
- Rear carbon engine vent tank
- Ohlins rear damper

It's a superb unique model built up for racing, with history and signs on it (NCR)
However, its design and parts are a bit different than original 926 - 1994.

But I repeat and confess : It is superb !!!

I won't bid ... Aaarrrrgggghhhh !!!!! 🙁
My Doctor said : "5 Ducatis ...It's enough now !!!" 😏

Indeed, strange things on that bike.
Nice bike, but to much money for a not original 1994 926.
But hey, who am i?

Are all the racings really built up in the same way? I always thought they were built one by one and by hand, so isn't it possible different parts were used for the same bikes (maybe on demand by the team they were built for?). And does it really matters it isn't an "original". I suppose you can find a lot of difference between the bikes Falappa and Mertens raced, but I would not mind owning one! 😉

Cheers,
Jan

Phil911

Jan,

I agree with you, but even if bikes are a bit different, few details are specific for the model-year concerned ...

When you decide to offer such a bike for sale, you cannot disregard these particularities ...

93 and 94 are really different ...

Correct, but for that kind of money...
I've seen bikes more original and for less of money.

I am looking for Racing brake disks too !!! Can anybody help me?

Hi,
I have got the magnesium wheels of the 916 raced in 1994 with the center of 80mm.
I am looking for the brake disks with the straight spokes and the small offset.
I could change it with my brembos with 80mm center hole, large offset and y-sprokes.
If anybody is interested please send email to heizer300@gmx.de

kind regards
heizer300

PS: these brake disk and the magnesium wheel is for my 916 Racing projekt not for my 888 SP...
