EBC Brakes FA196 Disc Brake Pad Set

Better than oem pads. Fit perfect and great stopping power. No noise or dust

Great brake pads. Excellent stopping power. These are organic brake pads and don't scratch the disks like sinister pads do.

It did fit the front disc brake caliper despite the ad saying it was for the rear one! easy to instal..

These fit perfectly on my Honda shadow build. It stops great!

I have a Honda Shadow 750 . When I first put them on it was a tight fit. It only took 2 tools, allen key and a flat head screwdriver. I had to drive around(40 miles) to wear then down a bit but now they are perfect, as in they are not squeeky and work as expected.

Thanks a lot amazons fitment said they would work not even close actually infuriating I’m not buying edc ever again do not buy they lie about fitment

So far these seem like really good pads. I would recommend them. They are very easy to install. The only problem I had was the hole at the bottom the pin goes in. On the set I got the pin would not fit in either pad's hole. Upon closer inspection it appeared to me that neither hole was round. They were both slightly oblong. Oblong enough to keep the pin from going in. I simply drilled a very small amount of material out to make the holes more round. After that installation was a breeze.I recommend that you check both holes to make sure the pin will go through before you attempt installation.

These pads are much noisier and significantly more dusty than my factory pads. I have to clean the white walls about once per month ( roughly 2k Miles) because if just how dusty they are. They don’t squeal, the noise it that of a cicada. Strange, really. But oh boy do they stop. I locked up the front tire for the first time in 3 years with these pads. Brake fade was nominal, slightly worse than factory on downhills (1,000 lbs, bike + my weight and fully loaded, 99 Honda Shadow Aero 1100.) My main issue is with the god awful smell these generate on the downhills. That plus the extreme dust is why I had to go 4/5 stars. I run EBC green stuff on all of my cars and don’t have these issues. I likely will not be buying again.
