Default EBC Brake Pads

Both my Heritage and my Electra Glide needed rear brakes, so I did a search here to find out what the majority of you recommended. EBC came up a lot, and I had used them on my race Jeep, so I ordered a set of sintered pads for my Heritage. I put them on, then went out and bedded them in. Holy ****! Huge improvement! So, I ordered a set of EBC HH pads for my Glide, and put them on this morning. Went out and bedded them in, and double holy ****!

If you've ever ridden in Vegas, you know how important exceptional braking ability is. I wouldn't have known EBC made MC brakes if I hadn't found about them here, so I thought I'd stop in and say thanks!

Same response here, quality pads no doubt.
As always, pads need to match the types of rotors, organic, semi sintered, or sintered.
If you match them wrong, you will get poor braking, excessive rotor wear, or they will honk like a goose!
