I am gonna need rotors all around and pads, looked at the new EBC XR but would like some feedback that some have had with EBC or Galfer rotors and where should I look for pads as far as companies? Also l have been having a hard time finding a complete clutch kit it seems like I just find pieces for one here and there can someone give me a link for one or recommend one?

I have the ENC Xrotors. I like 'em. I use EBC HH pads on them exclusively. Make sure to follow the exact bedding in proceedure they recomend for new rotors and pads.

I cant help you with the brakes,but from what I've heard the stock clutch is the best one. Are you looking for the steel and fiber plates or doing something like Brock's clutch mod?

If you prefer EBC instead, slightly less money than the Galfer Wave Rotors, but it's a petal design that work very well.

Tim,
Do you know if anyone has checked the EBC rear to see if it lines up or the holes are big enough for the RoadLoK?

Also, which would you recommend of the two between EBC and Galfer fronts?

Goodrich lines, Galfer rotors and ebc extreme pro pads made a big difference in the feel and lever travel on my GenI.

Yes i am also interested to know for the rear ebc whether can it fit for the roadlok.FYI there is a thread stating about this inside this forum,there is one forumer who is currently using galfer rear brake rotor with roadlok and he says it fits perfectly well with it.I tried it myself the pin couldnt go into any holes at all,so i sold away my rear galfer and kept the roadlok instead

Shawn, i had to enlarge 4 holes on my EBC rear to get the road lock to work. Used a dremel. I did 4 holes symetrically to even out any weight loss for balance. You have to roll the bike a bit farther hen locking, but i just lever lift the back end on the kick stand and turn the tire. I didnt want to get rid of either the rotor or the road lock!!!

I keep saying it... if you want to upgrade your brakes first swap the lever for an adjustable ratio radial level. After that you might be happy with everything else being left alone.

This one item can make a world of difference all on it's own.

+1, I had galfer lines and pads. After the Brembo 19x20 brakes felt 10x better. For pads Im using Vesrah RJL's, I like them alot better than the galfer HH pads. Also have Motosport.com Driven sport series rotors. After a couple months and a couple thousand miles I've had 0 issues with them. I'll be buying the same rotors and pads for the 600 after the holidays.
