    Brake pads

    Anyone with more knowledge on the subject know if I'd benefit from replacing what look like stock front brake pads, Aisin brand, with EBC semi sintered V-Pads? I've had them sitting in a box for the last couple of years - plenty of life left in the stock pads.
    The front wheel and calipers are off the bike... is it a while your at it kind of job?

    Sintered pads will tear up the rotors. Some people like the braking abilities but the rotors will suffer.

      These are semi-sintered, supposedly easier in rotors. Semi-sintered and semi-what? Organic? I don't know. Just wonder if they offer the best of both worlds or worst of both worlds.

        Ask the company that made the pads?

          I use the organic pads from EBC, seem to wear just fine and good stopping power.

          Stuff I've done to my bike 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.
