I gave away a set of Galfer green pads I didn't care for, but I have a set of Freodo sintergtrip XR pads I paid $150 for them if you want I'll give to you for $75 They are in excellent condition and only had a cupple of hundred miles on them. I upgraded to the RC51 brake system and no longer need them. I put the same pads back onthe bike and they work great.

I was the lucky recipient of lefin102's Galfer green pads. I like them very much compared to stock. I was thinking about doing a caliper swap, but after puting in aftermarket pads and doing a good bleed on the system, there is no need to (for my type of riding). I think you will be blown away by any aftermarket pad you put in. Much better performance!!

Does the 00 RC51 mc use the same 10 X 1.25 mm diameter banjo bolt as the VTR? I've been running clear Russells' with black wire wrap for years with I think a clear Galfer in back. Performance with the EBC HH is just OK, are the Vesrah or Ferodo's better (and much more pricy?). I have not tried the Dunlopad on the VTR either but used them on my Baby Hawk. Did Muzzy have any VTR clutch lines on clearance (gotta check I guess).

Yes on the banjo size.

EBC HHs should be just fine. Try a m/c upgrade and a good bleed.

No on the Muzzys.

Slokie, please check your PMs.

RC-VTR Brake MC Banjo Bolt Size

thanks Greg,

10 X 1.25 great, a friend just went to brembo brake & clutch on his RC51 and I thought I might give it a try over the winter sub-zero nights. I always do a good bleed.

The RC mc, lever, resevoir, bracket will just bolt on up?

Did u mean "skokie" rather than "Slolie"? And what do you mean by "please check your PMs"?

B
