Only tried BMW (Brembo) ones before

Any others worth a try and that are reasonably kind to the discs

I've tried EBC standard (long time ago) and various HH pads. They all seemed hard on discs. I am now on normal Ferodo pads and they seem a good mix of braking and wear.

Agree with D6. Tried Goldfren rear pads and they wore like F&&K in wore the disc also. Quite how they did it....

+1 for the ferodo platinums as supplied by James Sherlock down here in the south west. I was well impressed with them especially on a recent track day at pembury where the GS outbraked pretty well everything. very reassuring.

So basically the pads of choice from the masses would be ferodo platinum

Sounds very one make specific as coming from jap sports bikes they seem more a "personal feel" thing on those
