• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone have ceramic brake pads? Any experience with Traild ceramic pads?

Thanks Ron. I will lift at the center support, just in front of the muffler. Just thinking about where to support the rear, I don’t want to just trust the jack.
 
Did you purchase your brake pads from Bajaron? If you did, did you read the instructions that should have come with the pads? Did you purchase EBC rotors with the pads, or are you reusing the OEM rotors? If you purchased the brake pads from Ron and did not receive three pages of instructions, then I suggest you give his shop a call and they can probably email them to you.

Regarding using a single jack stand with a wood block, the block MUST be long enough to bear the weight of the two shock mount flanges that are welded to the swing arm and protrude downward beneath the swing arm.
 
I do have new EBC rotors for the fronts as well as pads. I have actually talked to Ron, the man himself, on the phone and he was a great resource and help!!

I do have a block long enough to catch both flanges. However, my jack stand has the v shaped top and is not flat. So I am working on figuring out the safest, most secure, way.

As Ron may have mentioned to you, beveling the leading edge and slotting the pads is optional. I considered that if he said they were optional steps, then he has much more experience than I, so I did them. Starting with a new hacksaw blade makes it fast work, and the beveling was a breeze with a file.
