Check a few (July 2004) sintered pad prices on my GS500 Brake Parts (http://www.bbburma.net/Documents/GS500_Brake_Parts.txt) list.

PS - Are you LOOKING for sintered pads? Or just anything...?

i got an offer for a set of the exact pads in that auction for 21 bucks shipped to my door. so I was wanting to make sure it is a good deal befor i said yes.

:cheers:

so what do you think?

$21 shipped? Yeah, that's a good deal on the pads.

But I still wonder if you really want sintered pads in the rear. I could see them on the front.

I guess it depends on how you personally tend to react in an emergency stop situation. You want to be able to keep that rear tire rolling if possible. A straight skid is best avoided, but no big deal. However, highsiding because you stomped on the rear brake with a "bitey" pad -- and then let up -- is something you will kick yourself for later.

Just checking!

Hmmm. You sound desperate, so I'll make you a deal. :)

How about $10 (shipped) for my EBC Kevlar takeoffs? For that price I'd rather keep them, but since they're just sitting around and you need 'em.... :dunno:

You can see a picture of them in the HOW TO: Rear Rotor Replacement (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13144) thread in the FAQ forum. It's the 25th image from the top, or the 9th image from the bottom.

I was surprised at how little wear they showed when I took them off. I must be learning to rely on the rear brake less and less. :thumb:

Anyway, let me know....
