I don't know when this style of disc appeared in the EBC range but I am hoping going with the stock 6.5mm thickness vice the slimmed down 5mm I have been using will eliminate the warping issues I have been having.
Cheers Geoff
Geoff, That seems counter intuitive.
Modern floating disks are typically 5mm or less rarely distort, even under race conditions. The two reasons for making them float are minor alignment issues and heat dispersal. They should heat more or less evenly. I wonder if the distortion is caused by the pads only sweeping the outer part of the disk.
Or maybe your rider uses the brakes way harder than most of us - or both

Can EBC make you disks with the same center bolt spacing and with larger OD to match a disk with larger ID so that they look somewhat original?
My preference for GT front hubs is CBR600 disks which are thin and light but we match them to a more modern caliper and pad with less swept area. I realize that you have to use period style calipers, and that's where you have to start. I want to say that some Ducati disks would also work but it's been a while since I went through that exercise.
The key for me was to reduce unsprung weight. Having raced bikes with heavy front wheels that chatter like a MoFo when pushed, I decided to elminate that issue at source rather than trying to reduce chatter after it was built.
Thanks to both of you for that info on what fits our front hubs. It's always nice to see people sharing knowledge.
