chinese klr brake pads on ebay

Hey Scott, I've had that less than fun experience twice, 27 yrs apart. The first one on a '72 Kaw H1B and the second on my '99 KLR650. Both times while cruising on the interstate and traffic parted for me to pull off on the right shoulder. The handling isn't terrible until you get below 35 mph when the back end is doing the side to side whip. That's when I put my weight on the pegs, leaned forward and grab a lot of front brake to bring it to a halt quickly. Tons of fun... Glad you to hear you brought it safely to a stop.

I had a rear tire on my Honda CB750 go flat at about 40 mph on the street. The rear end fishtailed just like you describe, and I just eased it to the side of the road.

Hi Bob, had a couple H1's myself the first one being an orange '72. I never had a flat but was curious, did the flat tire make it handle better or worse.... pretty sure mine had atleast one hinge in the frame. I never owned another bike that you could drag so many parts on so easily and from what i remember it actually handled better when the chambers were dragging probably because it took some of the load off the frame.......great old memories from what for the time was seriously quick bike.....have a great evening ....Greg Bob Eble wrote: Hey Scott, I've had that less than fun experience twice, 27 yrs apart.

Hi Mark, another choice in my opinion anyway are SBS HF Ceramic front pads, I put a set on mine last spring along with a Russell stainless steel brake line and after one season find there to be no noticeable wear, they seem nicer to the rotors then stock, the same qualities as I found with the CarQuest ceramic pads I use on my car and suv. Also combined with the ss brake line braking is so much better, both power and feel that it is hard to believe. I originally was looking for Galfers but couldn't find them from my local dealer and for consumable stuff like brake pads I would just as soon stay with a local supplier if possible. Anyway just another option...have a great night...Greg mark_anthony123 wrote: I suppose with brake pads we shouldnt screw around. for cars though I think they are all made in china now. someone on ebay is selling gold fren pads for klr that are supposed to be made by ebc but if you google gold fren the honda guys are ragging on the brand as terrible. I guess its galfers then.
