954 rotor fitment
will these bolt up directly to my stock hawk front end? were doing the front brakes and if theyre the same offset and bolt pattern i can use them and just machine a bracket for the calipers were using.

Nope, sorry. Different bolt pattern.
I just walked out to my garage and checked since I have been lazy and still have my VTR wheel laying around.
Really, a good caliper + MC setup on the stock rotors are great.. Yruyur has the same setup as I (F4i calipers and master with EBC HH pads) on his otherwise stock front end and his brakes seem to be every bit as good as mine with with the same setup +954 rotors.
If a pro were racing our bikes he might be able to tell the difference, but I certainly cant.
Edit: I only went with what I did because it made it easier to get my 954 forks working.

Nope... And if it did the calipers would be in the wrong place too, so you'd need to space those with custom adapters... So If you wanna do those things, just swap the forks... Saves you a lot of trouble...

Keep your eye on flea-bay, I just scored a complete set up in great condition from an F4i for 60 bucks, don't have em on yet as riding season is almost done here, so I'll set em up with braided lines and the EBC HH pads Lazn mentioned over the winter. I'll post pics when I do the project.
