Some even have a dial which can set on / off thermo level....... I run one atm in the EB Ghia & the mighty boy. Such a PITA compared to a near setup like Troy has now! Cheers ToranaGuy

I always make sure I have new pads for track days. Even running track pads, when they get below 50%, they disappear even quicker on a track day. e.g. I can get two/three track days from the first 50% of a pad, but will ruin the last 50% in a morning on track. They just seem to fall apart when worn.
