18k and you're bitchin'?!
I didn't think I was using my rear much until I checked them at the 6k
service. Factory pads were $45 - my RAT discount for the rear. They
are sintered metallic like the more famous EBC HH pads. The HH pads MAY
have a higher friction coefficient, but since they are both made the
same way I doubt it. EBC claims a u of 0.7; the highest I've ever
seen. Typical car stuff is 0.35 - 0.4. The EBC pads might be cheaper.
My pads appear to fit a Honda Super Hawk and a Honda 919. I'll test
that on a friends bike.
