ebc oversize rotor (nklr)
Posted: Thu Aug 14, 2008 8:04 am
I bought 2 EBC rotors ( for my bike and my wife's) from Fred. I
installed them 2 years ago, they have been to countries north and
south of the USA, they have about 15,000 miles on them and they are
great. Maybe explain what you mean by ' I hope you're not talking
about the EBC rotor from Fred'. Eagle Mike makes the doohickey not the
EBC rotors.
