Any input on these for a stock 78E?
If they're not recommended, can anyone point me in a better direction?

I have this brand on my back brakes right now...they work good. I took a file and lightly chamfered the edges of the pad for good measure.

"What they do have is an implacable, unrelenting presence and movement that bespeaks massive power lurking behind paint and chrome. They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~ -
I dont actually know that company so I go with a brand I know such as EBC. I use them on my cars and am happy so I figure they should be good the bike as well. http://www.oldbikebarn.com/1980-Yamaha-XS1100
