Not sure what to fit, mine still have a bit of life left in them but I'd sooner swap them in the near future rather than leave them, what do you use?

On my 14 I ran SBS Excel in the front, and EBC GG in the rear, which I found to be a nice combination. TBH there wasn't much between the SBS and EBC in the front, but SBS just had a slight edge IMO
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Fitted new EBC HH front pads before my 600k ride these last 2 days. Got better as they bedded in.
Much firmer lever, good bite but still very progressive.
Well happy  :)
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

I use ferodo paltinum front and rear.
This time i choosed ferodo platinum rear and sbs excell sintered front.
I have much more stopping power front but i also have noise! I hit the front brake and the bike sounds like a train!

Has anybody any experiences of Pyramid parts sintered front pads? Quite cheap, but how is the quality?
Or Gold fren pads? Unknown " ebay-marks" to me.

I have used gold-fren, they are fine will use them again, no problem.  They are TUV approved so the quality is fine.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

I dont like my Ferodo organic pads (and they are worn out), so I ordered EBC HH pads from England. Let´s see.....

Just purchased Goldfren S3 for rear, all I could get in a hurry for MCR, Buddy will report back on performance.

Are you charging him for the pads & new tyre + anything else you have had to put on it  :stir: :whistling:

Good idea, I'll buy more tomorrow and put it on the shelf. All in readiness for another big ride in a couple of weeks. I remapped the bike as a GSX250 so he wont be able to put much wear on the tyres or need to use the brakes. You only need to worry about returning the chains and cuffs.
