    None as far as I can tell. You'll need spacers and to shave some material off the speedo drive housing. I believe the most common ones are the 296mm ones. I'm sure some more in the know than me will chime in soon.

        The best rotors

        The ideal rotors are from the Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade 95-97. These rotors are a direct bolt on but a bit hard to get hold of. All that is required is to drill the 6mm holes out to 8mm and they bolt straight on. No spacers, etc. like with the CBR600 rotors.

        The important information is Dia. 296mm. Thickness 5mm. Offset 17.2mm. Bore 58mm. PCD 78mm.

        Hope this helps.

          Yes this is what I have been searching for, although you say the 95-97 fireblade are the best because they are a direct bolt on with just boring the holes larger . Is that the same with the 600 rotors? I have a set of 600 rotors coming on a F3 that I got for parts just have not picked it up yet, buried in snow. I also have the Kawasaki zx6e calipers from a bike I stripped for parts a couple years ago.Thank you again

            600 rotors are different. That's why he said the 95-97 900RR rotors are best becuase they don't need spacers like the 600 rotors.

              From an EBC catalog, it appears that the 95-98 cbr600 F3/SJR/SE rotors are the same size as the 95-97 cbr 900 rr fireblade rotors.

              I have two sets of F3 rotors and have bolted one set to my 650, like Don says just need to drill out mounting holes to 8mm and bolt right up.

              From what I can tell, the difference between cbr 600 F3 and cbr 900 rr are quantity of holes in rotor, 900 RR has many more. I personally like the 900 look better, but for every 900 rotors available on eBay, there are probably 5 times as many 600 F3 rotors.

              I was hesitant to respond to this since even with new rotors, you will need to use different calipers and therefore some sort of different mount will need to be acquired. Check with Salty Monk, he has been making adapter plates to mount up kawasaki twin pot calipers to these honda discs.

              Somewhere in the forum was a printable template to make your own adapter plate, but I can't locate it anymore. It is not impossible to manufacture your own, but I am sure Dan's (salty monk) will be happy to sell you a set.

                Either set requires a spacer to get correct offset. It's just that one set you have to drill completely new holes between the existing ones as well as the PCD is wrong whilst the other just needs them enlarging from 6mm to 8mm.

                You can use the spacer as a template. Your 600 F3 rotors are the type that need to drill completely new holes.

                Waterman - did you "enlarge" the existing holes off centre on that F3 set? I've not seen any other than the ones Don mentions with the correct PCD.

                  Yes, I did have to enlarge the existing holes off center to get everything to line up.

                  I am a little confused on PCD, the EBC catalog that I used for reference shows that it was 74 for both F3 and Fireblade rotors. It may be incorrect since they list an oversize rotor for Fireblade with PCD at 78 .

                    My catalog also lists the95-98 F3 and the95-97 900RR[fireblade] with the same part#

                        ^I really like that site...I just wish you could search rotors by criteria such as offset, hole pattern, and diameter. I really want a set of 5-lug rotors in 320mm on a 19.5mm offset...it won't really let you search that way, though.

                          I am just going to try the ones I have when I get the bike home and if they don't just drill and bolt I will pick up a set on E-Bay there are about 5 sets listed right now , that saying that the ones needed are the 95-97 900 fireblade ones
