You've lost the calliper
At least they've got more friction material than you'll ever get through on an Aprilia's rear brake

my gpx has a habit of destroying pads. as in actually snapping the braking material in half. its quite annoying!

Bloody hell Steve, who told you there was a back brake on the Falco, I'm expecting my pads to out live me!

Oddly enough, I never had any problems with the Falco's rear brake. The pads I removed were the original Brembo items - I think I got my money's worth out of them.
The new ones are from SBS and I'm waiting to see what they're like once I get them bedded in.

Not bad that.. Best set i've seen were fitted backwards.. He rode it like that for 6 months before he "couldn't put up with the squeely rattle" any more.. The mind boggles some times..
