Katana Front End Owners-Where do you buy front brake pads?

[ben2go]

I called my local dealer and they wanted $55 per side ($110 total) for EBC HH pads.I've looked online and found them for close to $30 per side ($60 total).Everyone wants $11+ per set shipping.Anyone have an online source for EBC HH pads?I don't mind paying $60 for both sets.My budget can't justify $80+ for pads.This and brake lines are keeping me in my easy chair.

Remember this though Ben - twin disks and pads will last longer than 1, more than 2 X as long. more like 4X especially if you are on a lighter bike and the thing is dual opposed piston. Remember the GS has 2 pistons but not opposed. That makes the wear all on the stationary pad. It wears out 4 X faster. Even wear is 90% of the game.
Cool.

i was just wondering about that-

2x the pads and discs would mean less frequent replacement.

On my friends GSXR he sais he changed the brake pads at - get this 55k miles, agreed, he lives in spokane washington where the hills do all the braking ... but still.
Cool.

Dgyver thanks for posting that link.I thought you were MIA,so I posted the question to the board. 



My Kat F/E has 4 pistons per caliper.I'm kinda heavy on the brakes, considering it's a lot of steep hills here.

Still around... just not much to say.
