Also, I have the option to drive a few miles to pick up some EMGO pads for about $20. Are they any good? Anything I should be aware of?

The original pads fitted to these were organic. Sintered (aka metallic) pads will shorten rotor life, but withstand braking heat better with less fade. As far as the rotor supply, there's still plenty of good used out there, but the day may come when that's not true. New replacements are available, but they're about $150 per pop...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

So, I guess all six pads are the same.

Well, the new rear brake pads are installed. The last two days have been kind of a milestone for me: I installed new rear pads, T.C.'s fuse box solution, and Tkat's fork brace. On top of realigning the front end and installing a new front tire last week...this is like eating grapes for you folks, but has been quite the accomplishment for me. Thanks for all your help!1979 Yamaha XS1100 Special
