[QUOTE="davidd, post: 94572, member: 1177"] Greg, I thought this might be a problem. I found that the bonding oven temps are around 475 F and I did a quick check of alloys and did not see an obvious problem. However, I don't know what the quality control is on the oven settings and it is obvious that the stock Vincent shoes become very damaged through use, so they may also be damaged during the bonding process. I don't believe this would be a problem for the modern high pressure aluminum die cast brake shoes used on modern motorcycles, because they are all bonded. Generally, the modern shoes are a lot more rugged in design, also. Ultimately, I think it is better to fit a more robust replacement shoe. I know the existing replacement shoes are too dear to garner much interest, but trying out a robust shoe with a high friction lining would be a good "proof of concept." I have some high friction linings on a set of stock shoes and I hope to put the same linings on a new shoe to get some feedback on the difference. Both are bonded. David [/QUOTE]
