Name of German aftermarket vendor

I wanted to have my brother order a Metal Gear 21.050 floating brake rotor in Europe, but I can't remember the name of the German vendor who sells them, although I've been on his web site.

Do any of you know it?

Better yet, does anyone know of a Metal Gear distributor in the US? I wasn't able to find one, and e-mail to the company went unanswered.

Might be Classic Bike Raisch - they do a lot of stuff for the Triumph Twins

Edit - just had a look on google.de and it's here:

http://metalgear-shop.com/

Type in 21.050 into search and it'll pop up your part

Follow-up

I sent an e-mail to the Metal Gear shop in Germany about US dealers and distributors, here's the prompt reply I received:

Hello Marty,

I`m sorry, but we don`t sell in the US, yet.
Maybe in the end of this year.

I'll have my brother in the Netherlands order one for me and carry it back to the US later.

Marty,

Is there a big difference between these and say EBC floating rotors?

Cheers
bob

I don't know, but these are stainless steel and I don't think that the EBC rotors are stainless. I like the look of this one better, I'm not interested in waves and slits and curves on aftermarket rotors. Also, the EBC rotors have recently been reputed to be hard to get.

I like the look of this one better, I'm not interested in waves and slits and curves on aftermarket rotors, just the floating feature. Also, the EBC rotors have recently been reputed to be hard to get.
