I just ordered a set from here:

http://myworld.ebay.com/atv_brakes_n_more/

They were cheap enough, shipping was free and I thought fast enough. I have not put them on yet, other fish to fry, but they look exaclty like brake pads. Wink

Bubba ordered a set from there:

I know nothing else. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

The EBCs were usually pretty near shot by this point in the season. The Kevlars look like they'll carry me through this season and a fair bit of the next one.

The thinnest version, there are 3 pad thicknesses of 106s. I think they ran me $14 plus tax. Plain old garden variety tan or gray friction material. I can sometimes score an asbestos set of rears...
