So, Versy, how hard is that disk compared to just regular ol steel Id find layin around? Does it cook bits pretty fast? You getting good at sharpening them? I worked in a machine shop & learned how to do it by hand on a grinder,, handy stuff to know. Small bits are hard to get right, tho, Under 1/4 is hard,,1/4 aint exactly easy,

OEM pads used to only last about 2k tops. And they're no bargain either. About 3k ago I put $16 kevlar pads in there and they look like OEM pads after 100 miles, and without the squeal and without the ON/OFF brake feel. I don't ride any softer than before. I like the fact that they need a bit more squeeze, makes riding and stopping on loose ground safer. Makes we wonder how long they will last...

Reply #58 - 02/21/12 at 15:45:39 I found a couple of pics I took right after I installed the EBC rotor on Nadine. This one should give you a better idea of the actual rotor versus the marketing images you see from merchants.

Thanks for posting that photo. It is really frustrating that almost all of the images posted by sellers of these rotors are just photos of different EBC rotors. I know MotoBudddah posted photos of his EBC rotor in his build thread a while ago, but this close-up looks great.

For the record, I am still sending my stock disc to Verslaggy for his service, but my Dipsh*t friend who has my parts keeps forgetting to ship them out there...
