    brake stuff

    I'm looking for cheap but somewhat decent brake pads, I don't need top of the line but a bit of quality. I'm having troubles finding a good site where I can get everything I need in one shop. I'm looking for all pads for front and rear and 3 caliper rebuild kits. Anyone here sell any of this stuff or know a good site for it?

    Check with some of the vendors here. They are usually glad to supply you with whatever you need.

      EBC HH pads get my vote...

      http://motors.shop.ebay.com/__?_from...+katana&_sacat=

      HS2020 sells the Carbone Lorraine pads, never tried them but I'm sure they're top spec as well.

        I am in need too, but have to wait until payday. Subscribed.
        Do the EBC pads need shims with them or are they a drop in? I only ask because while searching people were referencing shims.

        Cheers,

          Take a look at Vesrah as they are rated very highly.

            I don't know for the Katana, although I feel like I remember CP specifically saying not to use the shims, as well as Edbean in fairly recent memory.

            No shims on my Ninja FWIW.

                Thanks scottynoface, I was lookin last night on ebay, didn't see those, I was also having a hard time finding them year specific. Still searching for a rebuild kit as I'm sure I'll need one for each caliper. Thanks again

                  Good to know. One last question about shims. Are they not needed for pre's as well as posts?

                    I put a set of those on a GS1100... and they felt a little spongy to me. Maybe because it was an old bike... but I dunno.

                      Hmmm were they the sintered metal ones or the organic?
