The GTR has two pairs of brake pads in each front caliper. I'm running sintered HH pads which are great for hauling the bike down from high speed but not so great when you are doing 30mph, they are cold and some idiot pulls out in front of you.
Has anyone tried pairing a road compound pad with a race compound pad in each side of each caliper?
It might give a really good spread of braking efficiency or it might be a crazy idea. Any thoughts?
Sounds dodgy to me lol

Oh, interesting idea, especially stopping the extra weight I have with the trike, let us know if it works :-)
:punk:

E B C works well at all speeds.
As PRD says :stupid: :mfr_lol:

Thanks for the input. Thing is, I'm running EBC' s, the rotors too and it's got way off the bite and feel I'd expect. Think I'll strip them out, clean them, new brake fluid, that kind of thing and see where we go from there.
Cheers all!
Whilst you are overhauling the brakes don't forget to make sure the rotor bobbins are clean and free to turn :yes:
If he has the later EBCs, they have 'square bobbins.'
Yeah, they don't turn very well..... :mfr_lol:

How strange, I wonder why :mfr_lol:
Dunno, but they gave me a fit until I figured that one out.
I have EBC over on the dark side and they are excellent whatever you are up to !

The odd thing is, I can't seem to find a listing for the 1400 any longer???

You can at least get the part numbers from Murph's site and go from there.
Thanks for all the input everyone. I do indeed have the EBC Pro Lite XC discs with the patented square bobbin. So, how did things pan out? Well, I stripped all ten brake pads out, cleaned everything up, checked over the calipers and reassembled with a little copper-ease. Then I did a complete brake fluid change and bled everything up.
Err, what a difference! They are definitely working now. The old brake fluid looked really clean but there is a huge improvement to the feel with new. :clap:
