where do i get the best replacement and what are they called. what material are they made of?

 

The ONLY brakes you are going to get right now are STOCK, from the dealer. SEE my ramblings about trying to find aftermarket pads, in last week's posts here. I researched availability extensively, ONLY the dealers have'em right now. The aftermarket folks have listings, but you won't be able to order them. They JUST aren't out yet. Anytime, is what I was told. If you find aftermarket ones, PLEASE let me/us know.
I am going to TRY to reline my old pads. I'll post how that went ,later.

ebc brakes, 24.00$ a side

 

scootdog--- Rocky Mtn. was one of my first stops in my brake pad quest. They didn't have them 2 weeks ago. Like I mentioned earlier, lots of suppliers have listings, BUT can't deliver. The aftermarket pads just aren't out there yet. I checked with a EBC distributor in the mid-west. They told my source that: Yes they have a listing, NO they don't have the product to distribute. I spent a lot of time checking my options 2 weeks ago, and came up with NOTHING but stock pads. That is why I am going to reline my old ones. The aftermarket people all said the same thing: "Any time, now........."
BTW--- I recommend when you do check your pad wear, check the INNER ones. In my bike's case, the inner ones wore about 20% faster. No, nothing was stuck, or binding on the calipers, this appears the be a design flaw.

 

sorry TRX, i guess i should look before i leep!!
