I've got a 750 and when after a proper "Biker's Blast" they were shot to pieces, I replaced them with EBC Pads.
I bought them online from the EBCdirect website. Mine were FA95 Non Asbestos Organic Pads (Kevlar) & Sintered "R" Suffix Pads at £12.50 plus vat and £4.31 shipping costs (19.76 all in). My local Bike shop had them in stock and quoted me £39.50! Dead easy to replace if you take the caliper off the disk! I regularly ride out with a bunch of total headcases on 900's and S4's and the brakes seem to be holding up well. Don't know about Brembo's......any comments from other members?? |

I've always used Brembo Pads, so I would'nt know about the others, but after the track day, any of the others would have to be very special for me to change to them, as they must be good to slow down the combined weight of my S4 and my 19 1/2 stone all day without any fade, blue'd the disc's
though !!! Baz |

Yeah, so I think it ma be time to look at a less expensive alternative, but saying that, the Brembo's do tend to last quite a while ???.

I use Brembos on my 900ss and they're very, very good, no brake fade at all, and they do last well. They are slightly pricy though, haven't found a cheap supplier yet, so I've a set of EBC HH pads to go on next, £16.50 a side from Busters, good reviews. Another pad rated by many is the Carbon Lorraine.
