EBC HH pads not rotor friendly?
I asked about EBC HH front brake pads for the Thruxton at the local dealer yesterday. The parts guy quickly replied the EBC double Hs "eat rotors".
Any opinions out there?

Have not seen any sign of that on mine. I have been running EBC HH pads on my bike for the last 30,000 miles, and they have certainly not trashed the rotors. The rotors are fine, in fact - front and rear.

No problem here!
In my opinion, probably the best pads on the market -- and they are British manufactured!

They are good pads. I now have them on my Tiger as well. My Tiger had HH pads as stock anyway (Nissin pads though). I haven't checked what the Bonnevilles are as stock. I've still got the original ones, I'll have a look at them tonight.

I just mounted a set both front and rear on my Bonny. Better grip than stock. So far so good.

I had the same doubt. Thanks. My triumph dealer installed EBC HH on my front brake, and I was a bit worried; by the way, since they were changed,the brake make a quite particular sound when working, some like a bzzzz but it doesn't sound like a friction (more like a quick pulsation). Could anyone tell me about the reason of this sound?
