What is this called?

By the way Mr. Endodoc,
Do you remember when I ask you this question:

Anyone here using BrakeTech Rear Brake Rotors Part Number BTD245.1RS* ?

Hi Endodoc,

Why did you modified the stock flange design (I circled it in blue below)?
Was it because you see some cracks happened in that area when using Titanium instead of steel as the material? On further picture below I notice BDS still offer the Titanium rear axle in the same style as a stock flange.
I remember you sourced yours from BDS, right?
Because I think the original stock flange design (if there is no crack potential using Titanium as the material) is nicer looking due to the larger gaps between the rotor and the wheel, and give the impression of lightness/hollowness (for looks) and of course a bit lighter too due to less material. So I am curious to know your reasoning to modify it.

And your answer is:
Anyone here using BrakeTech Rear Brake Rotors Part Number BTD245.1RS* ?

One less machining process, it replicates what is on the Corse axle, it is a bit more robust and as far as how it looks, arbitrary, you can’t see it once it’s installed anyhow. As far as weight goes again arbitrary,Gram counting is fine after you have exhausted KG. If you are playing the gram counting game while there are KGs left on the table then you are in a different camp all together. That’s like cutting out chewing gum before the cake and ice cream.

I understand that you love to follow Ducati Corse design, but I also understand that you are "concern" with the original BDS design thus modifying it to be as you said above "a bit more robust".
You won't do it unless you have "concern"

However, those design still have the same "tube thickness" so it will still be weaker than the original Ducati steel alloy in term of snap risk like that bike in UK (which you start a thread about).

And you know this for certain because you have shear and torsionally tested both axles side by side and accurately recorded the data correct? So you are not just posting an option or a guess correct? You have actually performed or have seen this comparison for yourself correct? Please post the data

Yes, good advice. I always try to get opinions from someone who actually has and uses what’s in the topic of conversation. Keeps the chatter relevant otherwise it’s just an option which is, well never mind. I don’t (for profit or business) resell parts. I buy in volumes so I can get discounted pricing. With regard to liability LOL maybe we should go back and delete all the brake line posts, wouldn’t want a DIY getting hurt and I said “we” not pointing fingers. Are you officially on the ProTi payroll? if not, they should at least send you free hardware.

I don't tell people to buy my brake line, I did not sell them at all, even if someone wants to pay me to make it for them, I will refuse, due to liability reason.
You on the other hand, in many post tell people to contact you by PM. Those PM still can be proof of communication.

ProTi payroll? hahaha
I actually post above that the ProTi bolts is NOT as strong compare to steel but their application is not like your BDS source Ti rear axle.
If I am on ProTi payroll, why would I want to expose that here?
heck, based on your logic I might be on Ducati payroll or Melotti racing payroll or MotoCorse payroll too ??? hahahaha
Your answer always going personal each time, not everybody in this world is ... "like you"

Yes, some people like you might have BDS titanium axle, and so far so good... but you know... accident happen, and maybe by that time, you learn your lesson.
(because the fact is, you never listen to other, and always force other to listen or conform to you).

talking about topics, this post is about a member asking for information on the plug not to be insulted by your... ehhhh biased unstable "decoration" comment

Yep, just the answer I was expecting.

Yap, you are RATTLED hahahahahh
seller who tout superior parts only to not able to prove it safe...
I thought you are from aerospace background? if this is how aerospace works, with seller/vendor like you not providing safety test result, welll hahahaha lot of plane going to go down....
heck, you even somehow all this year manage to AVOID paying this forum as vendor sponsor wow....

Yep ya got me. Good job now get back to work on that Christmas tree you call a motorcycle, December is just around the corner and I can’t wait to see that thing with all the lights on it and stockings hanging from the bars

Dear Sir, Mr Endodoc Sir,
Yep of course I got you, you are so easy to get . Good job now don't forget to take that medication before you go rampage against the whole world,
and sincerely, I hope you never cause people have accident buying your so called racing grade but untested part,
and don't forget CARRY ON Mr. Endodoc Sir

Hey I took my meds this morning and as promised, I sent you the rest of the bottle. Carry on my good sir

You guys should get a room.

Well we were going to go to Mr Alpina’s place but he has a damn motorcycle torn apart in his living room and in his condition I’m not sure he would make it to SoCal. Ah we’ll figure something out.

Looks like a frame plug of some sort. They were big on previous models with the tubular trellis frame.
