Honda pads finally took out my EBC rotor. I found an OEM (Pinwall eBay) rotor but need to re-build the caliper. (I'm resisting paying $7.50 shipping for $9.00 worth of parts).
I'll need pads, as well.
I put Galfer semi-metallic carbon pads on the front, a while back, because the price was right. I don't really know what kind of pad material I should be using with an OEM rotor: sintered, semi-metallic or organic.
Any input?

Organic pads will give the longer lifetime to rotors, any rotors.
Might take a little more effort because they are softer on the rotors.

Mike: Remember that GL1800 rotors are a direct fit for the Valk. Less than half the cost of Valk rotors.

Last time I looked, the Valkyrie rotors were cheaper than the Goldwing rotors. They were listed at $120.00.

I think there talking about the fronts, thought the fronts were more expensive. |

If anyone can find an aftermarket pad that works well and is QUIET then by all means I'll use em. But for now I'm gonna stick with my OEM pads. The EBC's worked okay (about as well as the OEM) but the constant buzz like a cloud of bees in pursuit was awful. This is in direct contrast to my past experience with EBC which was quite favorable. I'm also a big fan of SBS pads and I used nothing but on my motocross bikes but I haven't tried them on a streetbike.
Vanagon, what do you think of those pads?

I kinda like the buzz, it only does it when you apply the front brakes.  Hoser |

Thanks, Sandy. I'll keep that in mind. Not true anymore (for the moment anyway). Front Valk rotors are $120/ea now on HDL. Half what they were and cheaper than 1800 rotors ($160 I think). If you need 'em, now is the time! |

That being the case, some pads literally 'run hot' under light loads... having a high coefficient of friction from the get-go and a flat torque curve... meaning the friction co-efficient changes as you exert increasing amounts of pressure. EBC pads are an excellent example of such a pad. http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,13708.0.html

I dunno, I mean that might affect certain things but they worked fine. They were just noisy. Hot, cold, didn't matter. They just buzzed like crazy. |
