Tham - hope to ride later today. I can tell you I put EBC HH pads on the rear a month ago and those made a very noticable improvement in braking. The best 32 dollars I've spent recently. JCW

Thanks for that info!

I am definitely sporting the 32 bones for the EBC's......That back brake has been iffy since day 1 for me..........(if your review is favorable I might just pop for the wave rotor as well).

The road test is in and I would rate the rear brake as very good. The rotor worked great, but really the only performance gain over the stock rotor is now I have a rotor that is not warped and scored and grooved with wear. So the braking is very smooth and strong - still I think 90 % of the gain is from the EBC HH pads and the rest from the fact I have "New" rotor as opposed to the worn one. These rotors are supposed to take extreme abuse with out warping. JCW

Drkside - Italy. You will have to have some one who deals with the product special order for you. JCW

No front one yet?

I'm using up all my play money on the Ward's Riverside, so many of my Thruxton plans are going to have to wait awhile. I'll miss the wave rotor.
