So , I went back to rear OEMs after EBCs... found EBCs work fine for me with no rotor wear after 18k. I think I'll stay with OEMs on front but its nice to know if need be there's an option on the rear.
I tested a pair of ebc's on the rear of my '04, a change or two ago. I found no difference in performance, compared to oem, on the rear. A couple of notes are, I did swap in the white heat insulator off the oem pads, into the ebc pads. And, I did verify that the pad thickness was virtually the same between the ebc HH pads and the oem rear pad. And yes, I did verify that the oem pads that I compared for thickness were the correct number for a rear installation. I know that some posters have found that their new oem rear pads are thicker than the oem fronts, but I have not yet found that to be the case. Performance wise,,, the ebc HH's matched the oem pads on the rear installation and ran for equivalent mileage. Have never run a couple of pairs of ebc HH's on the front,,,, except when I got the bike a dealer used by the p/o had done poor installations of a pair of front ebc's,, and the fronts were dragging like crazy. All the pistons,, front and back were full of corruption,,, no cleaning,, just jammed them back in and go. Great operating brakes depends on the details,, cheers,,, CAt'
