Brake Pads, Rotors and Brake Lines for
Motorcycles.
Brake pads and rotors are vital motorcycle parts. these parts need to be
maintained at all times in order to insure proper braking power. Motorcycle
acceleration is generally way faster then that of cars so it is essential to
also have the braking power to stop when needed.
We carry brake pads, rotors and brake lines by the following
manufacturers: Braking power under control, DP Brakes, EBC brakes, sbs, Parts
Unlimited, Vesrah, Russel Brake Lines, Goodridge, Magnum.
Brake pads need to be changed periodically depending on the pads and
your riding style. The higher performance brake pads the faster they generally
wear out. This is a trade off because you get better braking out of them but
they wear out faster. Also pads are much cheaper then replacing rotors so you
don't wont to wear them down to the point wear your rotors get ruts in them and
don't work properly. A screwed up front rotor can be a real hazard to the
rider.
Rotors also play a vital role in braking. Vented ones are usually best
to dissipate the heat that is given off by repeated braking. I personally like
cast iron rotors. They need a little more care but to me they grab better then
other rotors.
Brake lines are the other component that needs periodic maintenance.
The lines over time expand or become brittle which causes you to lose pressure
in the line and therefore stopping power is affected. Steel braided brake
lines are a good choice because they are not prone to this where regular
rubber lines are. Kevlar lines are also a great alternative to stock
ones.
We carry a full assortment of lines, pads and rotors if you do not see them
