I changed my mind yesterday, I cancelled the Ness rotor and ordered the EBC for no reason other than the EBC was advertised as made in the USA. Then it arrived. No biggie I guess. At least it's not from China.

UK stuff is quite good. I have used EBC rotors and pads on all the bikes I've owned that needed them. Superb quality at a reasonable price. Your won't be disappointed.

Yes, I'm sure they're good. It looks nice too. I might use these whenever the fronts need replacing. I ordered from that link you posted, and I was surprised that Amazon delivered it at around 6 last night.

EBC Brakes has an address in Las Vegas. I don’t know what they do there, I was told it is not open for visitors. At least you shopped local.

Hmm, didn't know this. They must not stock pads here, I'm still 3 or 4 days out for them.

Oof, baby got a bit hot. I'm way too old to ride hard



It was due.



I never paid any attention to the rear rotor, and didn't notice that it wasn't a floater. It is now, and much prettier.
