I've got a picture of them--they're solid brass, 1-piece. If you want to see the picture, just email me at: walexa@meila.com
Or, if somebody has the ability to post them on the internet on a web page, let me know. Thanks.

You can get a free yahoo photos page at yahoo.com and post them there. It is easy to sign up and best of all, its free. I posted some pictures on one I set up last week. Its in my signature. Have you used the pads yet? I am eager to see how they will work compared to the sintered metal pads. If you can't get the yahoo page to work, I will email you from home and post them for you.

 

id be more interested to hear how long they last..at 35.00 bucks for 2 they should last a real longtime..keep us updated please?? thanks

 

bowtiepu,

The Severe Duty rear pads offered by polaris set me back $52 last time I replaced them. If these solid pads last only as long as the severe duty ones, I'm still saving $17. However, I believe they will last much longer than that.

 

wow i guess dealers set their own prices..i paid 85.00 for all the pads 6 total for sever duties form my dealer..52.00 for 2 is a rip off..let me know how the brass ones hold up,if they last longer than polaris s/d ill buy some

 

I had a friend a few years ago that worked at Alumax in Texarkana. (Bill Woods) He made a set out of brass and they lasted him for 3 years.

Walexa,
Don't feel bad, I paid $52.00 for my severe duty pads on my 98SP500 I paid $43 for all four in the front. The rear just cost more for some reason.

By the way, there were about 50 at Fun Wheeler Park this week end from Monroe... Where were you??

85$ You just, what we called Jipped.

 

Well guys,

Got the brass pads in yesterday. They look really nice. I'll probably put them on this afternoon and give them a try even though the ones on my bike aren't nearly worn out. I'll give a full report(probably short) on them Monday. BTW, there is more than one plus that I see with these solid brass pads: they should wear much much longer than even the severe duty pads, they're a little thicker than the stock pad thickness, they're cheaper for me than the severe duty pads, and there's no danger of ruining the rotor once the pad part is worn out. Since the backing plate and the pad itself are the same piece of brass, that means that it won't be steel on steel once the pad is worn out--in other words, you don't have to change them when the pad thickness is down to 1/32". You can run them until all pad is worn off, and maybe even a little while after that. This alone could mean at least 50-100 miles more. Again, I'll let everybody know what I think about them Monday.
