col i fitted new front pads from metal gear and transfered the metal shims that was on the back of the old ebc pads to the new ones and front rotors are still original

the rear rotor and pads was replaced just over 2 years ago all from metal gear and i did buy new pads but i just threw the old ones back in as they still have plenty of meat and i did mark one side

its been nearly 2 months since i last rode it braking is still excellent no noise and very smooth, i did about 60ks round town and open road

i was only going to do the fronts as they looked terrible but when  chris the owner help me choose the colour,i thought most well do the rear caliper too

Well done Mate, they look good.

Look great, you'll be glad you kept the original colour. Will you be going with braided brake lines, or already have those? The HEL series are great  as are Goodridge products (I've no affiliation with either one, just good gear)
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

already done mate fitted hel braided hoses over 10 years ago as for the colour i wanted the same or close to the rear caliper as possible the cerokote name is burnt bronze
