Hmmm... just won an auction I had no expectation of winning for a complete set of EBC GFA race kit pads (drunk ebaying). Buy it now was 100.00, I got them for $45.00 and due to a friend paying me back some money on my paypal I basically got them for $6 out of my own pocket.
I've been using nothing but Vesrah's for around 4 years, would these EBC's be an interesting change or should I just sell em? Anyone heard anything about them or used them? Info online is hard to come by for some reason.

They fit

2003-2006 Kawasaki ZX6R/RRs. 2004-2007 ZX-10R
2004-2005 ZX-12R
2005-2008 Vulcan 1600 Streak Streek
2003 Suzuki GSXR 1000
2005 Suzuki M95 Boulevard

Anyone with one of those wanna make me an offer?


Okay just found the info on the EBC site. here's what it says.

"Our first offering for the superbike and road race market is the SB151HH pressure sintered copper brake formulation, which offers faster brake bed in, highest heat stability, maximum braking power and consistent performance throughout the pad life. Please note that the GFA race series are strictly for closed circuit racing and should not be used on the highway. This material offers a very high friction co-efficient and a perfectly stable brake curve. The friction level of these pads is so high that it is considered dangerous and not compliance with ECE R90 brake safety regulations to use these on the highway. "

Sorry for sounding like an idiot but that sounds fucking great. Someone talk me out of putting these on the bike.

^^^BUMP

Anyone know if these will be really unsafe or will I just be able to stop obscenely quickly making it hard for cars to avoid me?

as long as you dont try to do stoppies in front of cars, i dont see why you couldnt use em

[PiZdETS]

aight cool thanks, I'll just be careful.
If they can stoppie with me on it I'd be very impressed. I feel the front starting to slide before I ever feel the rear end go light, not that I try much.

I just put on the EBC's on the FZ, i figured with the crappy brakes, I needed every bit of help I could get.

I'd run those EBC's and keep the Vesrah's handy in case you don't like them.

That's what I'm thinking too.
If I don't like them my friend wants to buy them from me and secretly rig them onto his sisters bicycle. He thinks she'll loop and faceplant hard.
I tried to explain the difference in motorcycle vs bicycle braking systems and that the bicycles brake lines probably won't even be able to push the pads all the way against the plastic disc but oh well.
