Flyinfool Posted May 25, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 25, 2011 I just replaced my left front and rear brake pads with EBC HH. Last year I put the HH in the right front. It did not need new pads, the old ones were only worn to about 50%. I can not believe the difference in stopping power that the rear brake now has. I can literally stop in half the distance that it took with the old pads. I was very concerned about stopping power with a trailer in tow. My concern was justified, I will feel much better with the trailer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keemez Posted May 25, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 25, 2011 Add some trailer brakes too! Er- that's probably not feasible in a situation like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted May 25, 2011 Trailer brakes are feasible, and I have been giving it some serious thought, and I Have them all speced out as to what I will all need to do it. But there is no time to do that before MD. The stopping power on my bike was REALLY BAD before these new brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keemez Posted May 25, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 25, 2011 Are you thinking like one of the hydraulic surge type or more along the lines of electric? I guess it's not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted May 25, 2011 There are 7" electric drum brakes available that are made to fit in an 8" wheel and still have the same 4 bolt pattern. There are a few different brake controllers out that would be appropriate for this use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
