    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Emgo brake pads?

I need to replace my front pads and it seems like Emgo are the easiest to find, at least two pair at a time. I keep looking for EBC but either I find only one set or they want $35 a side...

I can find Emgo pads for about $15 a side or $35 for both, shipped. So whats the story on them there Non-go pads? I saw some K&N pads on eBay awhile ago too for low bux but they were gone before I could check out the reputation. I know K&N for filters, not pads.

Thanks for the input!
 
I used to use emgo pads for a Goldwing I had & had no problem with them ever. However I just looked @ bikebandit.com & they show pads for GS550 & GS1100 for 27.00 & 30.00 respectively for OEM pads. I'm not sure if your bike uses & if not, they did not show it for a 750 (I am assuming that is what you are looking for, it's the bike you have on your profile). I would give them a try though.

www.usedmotorcycleparts.com - links to CycleRecycle2 in Indy. They have Vesrah Kevlar / Organic brake pads for ~$25 a piece or so. I put these on my 1100 earlier this year and they work good.

If you walk into CRC II and ask Rob for brake pads, he'll recommend two sets of Vesrahs up front, and the cheaper Emgos in back. He told me that the Emgos wear more quickly, but setting your brakes up that way will pretty evenly wear all three together, and stop you as well as any other combo.

That's how my bikes are set up right now.
 
I usually talk with Rob on the phone when I order things, he's great.
