This is gunna be one of those posts where everyone will post what they're running & you'll end up with a few different answers with everyone competing to show why their choice is best.
Jaws will then step in and either offer to flog you some cheap unheard of stuff (on the premis that your teasting it) or the stuff he usually stocks.
Then someone will actually say "forget the make for a minute, do you want Carbon lorain pads of Double H sintered pads?"

Let the debate begin..... :bang: h1d1ng2

OE pads for me, HH are too coarse and eat the discs.
Some of the others don't work until they heat up.

Sizzling Danepak or Lorraine's Carbonara?

If you want to enjoy the sound of sizzling bacon when you're hard on them - go for EBC HH's.

If you like the brown trouser experience of nothing happening when you pull the lever until there's a bit of heat in them then go for Lorraine's Carbonara. They're awesome once up to temperature but I had a few moments on Carbone's from cold.

I'd go for the bacon sound track. :neenaw:

EDIT - obviously had the same experiences as me Rhino!

Dont try these tho as they are a bugger to fit and not much cop in the wet !

Surely that depends on whether its a Carbed or EFi one

I am sure they came from an era long long ago before fuel injection !

Changed from OE pads to EBC HH.......WOW what a difference and the sound track comes free.........!

As for disc wear.............? I've put a good few thousand miles on my pads and the disc are still perfect? EBC state that the wear rate is less wit the HH pads, but I can't see this either. They do turn your disc's blue when you use them in anger......... :neenaw:

 

[Rods]

ebc hh for me too. on the bm and the bird :yo:

And turns them rusty with all the sintered residue left behind.
Wouldn't use owt but OE in future unless i took up racing........and that AINT ever gonna happen.

Which pads

Hi All.

Thanks everyone for your advice on all these pad choices, looks like (ebc hh) are going down well with most of you, p.s ( i just cant resist bacon anyway!!!)

bring-on -the-pork!! (woops)

P.S i must get some picks of the my bird on here, so you all can drool at it!!

Regards barmy-sarge.

I've put EBC HH on my 'Bird, and in the dry I can't fault them. In the wet, they seem to "slide" before biting. You get used to it and there's never a danger of not stopping but it still a "thing". Also, I ride in winter and the sintered HH pads stick to the disks if you are off the road for a couple of days. Nothing serious, but another "thing".

I'm miles short of needing new pads, but when I change I'll probably go back to OE pads as the EBCs are no better for my kind of riding IMHO.
