There is a guy on the Honda PanEuropean Owners Club in the Uk who is also a bike mechanic.
He sells EBC pads for ST's and I've had some from him in the past. I get full 3 x caliper sets. The rear pads I get are for bike equipped with ABS and are the ones that fit the Goldwing and are a bit thicker (not the same thickness as the front as normally supplied).
Anyway, I've been in contact with him, as I'm looking at replacing mine, and he's sent me a quote, see below copy of e-mail;
OK yes I still do EBC pads @£23 a caliper set Assuming your bike is ABS and uses the thicker FA261/2 in rear
3 set pads packed will weigh 1000/1200g so post is £20 so 3 X £23 = £69 +£20post = £89

89 Pounds works out at $139.10 (at today's exchange rate).
The last time I enquired about genuine Honda pads they were something like $120 PER CALIPER, so this is a considerable saving as EBC are excellent pads IMO.
Last time I ordered, I got 4 complete sets (3 x mates at work wanted some as well) and it worked out cheaper postage-wise.
So, what I'm asking is, does anyone else from WA want to go in on the order? I'll give it a week and see, then I'll place the order.
You guys from over east can order your own if you want. I've put Dave's e-mail address at the bottom of this post.
