Front Brake prep/break in
« on: February 27, 2009, 02:04:09 PM »
CB350F.
Rotor is off inthe mail to be cross drilled and resurfaced by Speedracer741. 
I'm a first-timer for brake pad installs.
I disassembled the front caliper. Cleaned, new piston ring, lubed, and installed the new EBC pads.
The new pads differ from the originals in that there is no surface edge bevel.
Would it be prudent to bevel the edge, or prep the pad surfaces in any way before they get down to business?
Anything else i should be aware of?

Thanks
