[QUOTE="davidd, post: 120325, member: 1177"] It is all a matter of usage. For racing the Vintage Brake 2520V or RD-4 from Porterfield are excellent. These linings need heat to achieve the best performance. Both are very resistant to fade. For the street, the GGW seems to be the first choice of Vincent owners in the East, but it is probably due to Industrial Brake & Clutch being so easy to deal with. I was hoping that they could supply GGA also, but they will not. This is the problem with brake liners, you have to quiz them about what they can do. Additionally, I can't test something that I cannot get mounted. I think the GGA and Ferotech's 2930 are worth testing, but I have not been able to find brake services that supply them. Dick Hunt in the UK supplies 2930. There was at least one Vincent owner from NZ that recommended Ferotec in earlier discussions. There may be some truth to that! There is no servo action with disc brakes, so the geometry is not as much of a mystery. However, the lack of servo action means that hydraulics is necessary for decent actuation. They also are more resistant to fade from heat because they cool down much quicker than drums. David [/QUOTE]
