Just installed the EBC front pads that Fast Eddy sells. I have never done brakes before so I was a little gun shy about doing it, brakes are kind of semi-important on a motorcycle.....especially when you do a lot of city commuting like I do.

I had BigBill(thanks Bill) show me how it comes apart and where everything goes, it seems simple enough so I was confident when the front pads arrived.

It was so easy to do,the pads can only go in one way.Make sure you keep the pads and rotors clean an free of grease.It took all of 45 minutes to do both front brakes.

The only snag I ran into was my own fault. I installed speed bleeders as i was doing the pads,during the bleeding process I didn't keep the reservoir topped off allowing air into the system. It took a while to get all the air out,that was a PIA.

Anyway,If you need new brakes do it yourself its easy. Don't let the dealer scare you into letting them overcharge for this simple repair.
