My 14 had Galfers on the front when I got it and they work fine. Bought some Goldfren pads, but the ones that came on the bike are too good to replace yet. My buddy warped the stock rotors on his '08 and replaced them with the Arashi Galfer knock-offs. he says they are OK so far.

I replaced my warped stock ones with those Arashi ones... There okay, but if you have the money buy better ones.

Rook I'm still running this one as it is much lighter, as most of the new rear rotors are. But the metal has low carbon and heats up way to fast. I would say go for the Galfer . My brother runs the Galfer Chrome and likes it. I too am shopping for rear. Most likely will go Braking again as they just plain work. Great quality steel.

How much improvement did you notice in braking? Would I have to replace my pads too?

Tough to say how much in distance. All I can say is, confidence is high when you grab a fist full. Very, very Happy,,, finally, no warping from abuse. Dragking I hope this statement is not a jinx on myself ,,,, fingers crossed now. pads your call but I would.

good news. I will upgrade when my pads are toast. You should try those Versah pads I bought last year expensive but second to none IMHO

I like my Vesrah too but I don't think they are really much better than the OEM pads. The Vesrah never squeal at low speed like OEM did but I have noticed that there feels as though there is a slight bind when applying the front at times. Could be worn rotors though. I still have the OEM rotors with new pads.

yeah check your rotors mine have been flawless so far. Good linear, strong bite. The only time I don't like their feel is when I'm slowing down from triple digit with the wife, but when you add 340 lbs to the weight of the 14 it makes sense.
Warped the rear last night,,,, must get new ASAP
How do you warp the rear???! you're a hooligan!!! BTW you should order a new rear tire as well, looks like that one is toast!
Will let you know if they are shit.
Waiting for your report!

High speed runs building turbo maps is very hard on Brakes.
Dragking report on the front is the Best I've ever owned. Have no problem what so ever recommending them. 5 star for sure. Rear I still have not ordered yet. Been really busy. Soon. Back Tire is a slick, just needs a little love is all lol
