Brake Pad Recommendations?

[Sweaty]

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.

Now that's smart Jeff

Fit a louder horn - you don't need brakes then

somehow i missed the brake pad poll. usually onto that stuff but i missed it. metal gear is my choice, sold from brisbane in australia and a german site also. superb pads, best ive used. 80 aus dollars for front set. oganic or sintered available.  i fitted ebc to rear brake, threw in the bin and fitted metal gear. brake actually worked then. not sure why ebc didnt work, all you blokes love them. pistons are fine. front are superb, stop well, no noise. louder horns would work, i guess. if you want really loud horns, get a set of opel/holden astra from wreckers/breakers. like truck horns. cost stuff all. so loud. make sure you get the wires attached to them. they are loud.

I couldn't remember what was in there last just checked EBC, I wasn't impressed by them.

I use Goldfren S33 on both my bikes. Better than Suzuki OEMs for the 14 and OEMs for the OPan European. Have tried EBC in the past and found nothing special.

S33 are for racing, thus I got the S3, didn't want Buddy to think he was back at Eastern Creek.

In the UK there has been a Goldfren S33 available for road bikes as well as the version for race. I'm quick, I'm told, but not fast enough to use race pads on the road.

My EBC HH started squeaking today. With a little luck they will get louder and I won't need a honking horn.

Put some WD40 on them Andre, that'll quieten them.

thats how my ebc in rear felt Col, wd40 on them except they made lots of noise. in the bin and metal gear fitted, lovely brake then. nut sure why, ebc get good raps but mine were terrible.

I've never had this on any of my 14 discs until I put the Goldfren pads in.

[grog]

Strange colour you mean? Do they work ok? As ive said before, ebc highly recod on here, i got some. They just sounded terrible and no stopping power. No idea why. Everyone else loves them. Binned them, metal gear totally much better. No noise and stop.

The strange colour looks rusty, never seen it on 14 until Goldfren pads, I have Goldfren on the front of my XJ900 1983 original discs no rust. My FJR has rusty discs  don't know what pads are in it as the previous owner my mate cant remember what he put in. I can't be bothered looking because the brakes front and back are much better than the GSX and other things

Also used ebc in the past and thought they were rubbish, my choice and ive tried them on 2 different bikes are, bendix pads they are absolutely fantastic! Carbon lorraine are also pretty good but definitely bendix on every bike for me

I put these cheapos in my 14 last time http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/suzuki/gsx_1400_k2_k3/02-03/picture/pads_front_brenta_standard_gg_type/

Better than EBC as far as I'm concerned. They work in all weathers, aren't grabby & but are powerful. I'll keep fitting them from now on.
