Brake Pads

ells · 04-20-2010, 07:10 PM

Am I ever disappointed. The OEM rear pads went about 19K mi, which I thought was poor, but then I installed a set of EBC FA231s and they were down to metal-on metal in 8K. I didn't think I braked all that heavy and the fronts (which I do I use a lot) with 27K mi are still good at 3-4mm. My Vulcan 800B has 44Kmi on the original brakes, front and rear and are looking good.

Are there better pads out there than the EBCs?. There must be something. The EBCs are all I have found locally and have another set to install this evening so I can get it back on the road but am looking for something better next time.

Thanks for any related suggestions.
