Title: buying brakes online
Post by spacepirates on 03/21/10 at 12:14:38

Anyone know of a good place to get brakes online and/or what brands to look for?

I just purchased EBC FA106 front brake pads off amazon for a little under $30 shipped, but I want to get rear brake shoes too although i can't find them anywhere other than http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/3/14/137/10066/20538/PITEM/EBC-Brake-Shoes-2002-Suzuki-Savage-650-Parts.aspx and they don't even mention what model they are.

can't find any brake shoes on ebc's site.

anyone ever looked into changing the rear drum to a disc brake? not that i have the skill or motivation to do so, but it would be cool to see it.

The link says... Note: Fits BMW R80 up to 09/80

The back isn't very effective, stock's will do.

But if it's like the front and there's an increase in brake pedal force to lock it up, it would be great.

EBC part number is S606

No, no ones done it.

well, my rear brake is at it's "wear limit" according to the gauge on the drum, so I was going to replace the shoes and figured I might as well do it with something decent.

Thanks for the links!
