Wasted cash on bad brakes

Several years ago I discovered the front shoes for the 175's sold by EBC were undersized. I contacted EBC and described the issue and measurements.... they sent me TW200 shoes which have a slightly different spring arrangement but since they came with springs, they worked fine, not undersized.

Since then I have only used Yamaha OEM shoes. They are still available new and it's just not worth the trouble to mess with aftermarket IMHO.

Yamaha route is always my first choice, I went aftermarket in these two cases because I couldn't find Yamaha ones
