What about AP racing pads?
OK for street and road use?
If racing only they might need to be warmed-up before making reliable stopping force.

Better caliper with mounting bracket.
Stock disc not possible. A disc has to be ordered too

The iron discs work well............
But look terrible


not terrible,but ugly?id sooner stop better with less lever pressure than look shiney?in fact it gets better to a point as it heats up with use,the hard as hell factory one only got worse as it got hotter,i live n ride in a hilly area and ive tested/taxed and abused a lotta brakes on cars aswell,cast iron works.

I like that cast iron disc Dave;I would gladly enjoy the rusty look because cast iron is superior to SS.
I have a small Honda which also has a hard,stock factory SS disc..
I would like to know who carries cast iron discs for vintage Honda bikes.
