Thread: EBC Brakes

  1. #1

    EBC Brakes

    Here is a alternative brake kit for the Marauder made by a company in CA named EBC brakes, These sport rotors use a special unique disc alloy are zinc anodized for protection and are dimpled with wide aperture groves.
    This wider slot actually draws cool air across the pad surface keeping the pads and rotors cooler.

    The pads are of a very special refined ceramic design with used in performance applications.
    IE. In use in racing applications and govt. persuit autos.
    They are indeed superior in every way!
    They have excellent performance either hot or cold and produce far less dust.
    Have a pad hardness of hard and excellent fade resistance.
    Because of the above they will allow rotors to last much longer yet have a high friction rating.
    A special surface coating adds a unique brake-in quality for instant efficiency.

    This is a highly formidable step up from OEM brakes.





    The complete kit incldes front and rear rotors and pads the MSRP cost is 674.00 PS
    but we can do a group buy if we can get ten or more orders.

    Wider than OEM? Let's talk warping.

    EBC brakes have a very good reputation in the motorcycle industry. I'd say it's a good option for anybody who hasn't upgraded and wants to stay with OEM size rotors.
    Thanks to Darrin @ BC Automotive:
    $1800 and it was worse than when he started!

    And how do those rotors look after some use? black border and steel contact surface?

    Yes Mac stock Calipers and no I do not think these rotors will warp and crack like the OEM does

    I didn't see wider. I saw wider slots.

    Seems like you don't like them. I'd suggest you not get them.

    How can I not like them? I don't even know anything about them besides what the salesman said. An upgrade should be a step up and that's what I'm interested in finding out - is this a step in the right direction. I am curious as to the black paint on them, after use is there a black border of paint around the rotor and the steel contact area? If so, why painted?

    Owning a bone stock Marauder with 71K miles on it now, I know I'm going to need replacement brakes someday.

    I'd rather go this route than off-the-shelf NAPA stuff.

    Thank you, Dennis. This is a nice option for the bone-stock owner. Please keep us posted on the group buy opportunity?

    I could do this if we get enough interest, and the rotors are not painted black there Zink Coated the problem with the OEM and OEM after market replacement is the stock rotors are prone to fade and heat cracks these are brand new, dimpled not cross drilled along with gas slots and they are being tested by several Police agencies, I will keep you posted. All I was trying to to do is give other options the KVR kit is a great kit but it is also a lot more expensive.

    Sebring would be a nice test for these, and the other brake kits. I know I plan on putting my "other" kit through its paces.

    Pricey

    Hey Dennis,

    I was surprised to see the price you posted. I did not expect it to be so high. I have to admit, It looks and sounds like a nice option to larger diameter rotors, makes up the material in thickness???

    If the rotor is thicker (if it is) does that result in thinner pads? the calipers will only go so wide, right?

    Nice setup!

    I did not say the rotor is thicker, please read the first post, quote they have wide aperture groves

    I posted the M = Minimum MSRP this is all I can do unless we have a group buy, if I post under MSRP the company will not sell to me or any other vendor.
