Re: brakes

[C.O.M.E. Racing]

Thomas, I recently installed new front and rear pads. I used EBC FA-160 HH pads on the front and EBC FA-88 Kevlar on the rear. This was based on advice from several VMOA members in the last 6 months. The HH fronts are sintered material but don't increase disc wear. They are extremely effective and powerful once fully run in (EBC says 250 miles for total run in). Two finger lever application is all you need with these pads. I stayed with stock kevlar replacements for the rear because my riding style tends to use the backs more than many riders so I didn't want to have the over effectiveness of a HH pad on the rear as I believe it would be too easy to lock up in an emergency situation. My bike is a '99 so I believe the part #'s listed would apply to your '94 also. Brakes are a bit like tyres, everyone has their favourites, but you definately can't go wrong with these EBC's.
