and I'll break out the quart!!! Cause I'd need the quart if you're bringing the web cam!!! I cannot make any quarantees on any workmanship on the engine - but you will be satisfied with the quality of work and attention to detail regardless of how intoxicated I may become..........[sm=badbadbad.gif]

I am trying out the SJRL17's (Vesrah) on one of my bikes right now. Initial bite is pretty strong as in almost more than what is needed. Have not tried the Galfers yet. Heard good things on those. Pad replacements are simple enough to do. I Run SBS pads on the other ride with good feel and less initial bite.

Be careful with sintered pads they are very hard on rotors,I have carbon lorraines on the race bike and I can say they have almost to much bite!

For the street I would go with the EBC greens. They bed in very fast,and have a nice feel through the lever.

Exactly... The last set of sintered pads I ran, I destroyed my rotors. The rotors wore out instead of the pads. I am running the same EBC now too, and so far I like them. Want to try the Galfers tho..
