Brake pads - recommendations?

[Possu]

Contemplating fitting new pads to the front of my 2000 1150GS, there's about 3mm of pad material left but off to Hungary next week & would rather fit new pads now than need pads in the middle of nowhere

Any recommendations that work well with standard discs? Used EBC HH in the past on my old GSX-R1100 with no problems.

Thanks

Contact Steptoe as he does Ferodo Platinum pads. This is my first time on them and when bedded in they do exactly what you expect - stop you well! I recommend them as well as Steptoes ridiculously cheap price that he knocks them, out for!!

Just had EBC's put on mine and very nice they are to....

pssst, Ferodo PLATINUM friction material same as ebc HH .


Late GS's £16 a pair ( BMW calipers )
early GS's £15 a pair ( brembo calipers)

I don't suppose for a minute by early GS'd you mean Airheads? I'm after EBC HH (or absolute equiv) for my K1100RS - 4-pot caliper. If you don't know which caliper I've got you can look for yourself on Tuesday

I mean early oil heads, brembo calipers.

But they'll fit K series 4 pot caliper, but you only need a single set, what do i do with the odd set left ?.

anyone one out there with a K 4 pot caliper on their airhead who needs a set of pads.

No but I would'nt mind a second hand 4-pot K caliper to fit ib to my girlfriends 94' R80GS Paralever. I've heard that there's one particular caliper that fits straight on to the forks & compliments the standard airhead GS disc.

BTW Steptoe, I tried replying to your PM re: pads but your mailbox is full.................

To go back to the original question,I heartily recommend Carbon Lorraine pads.Bit pricey mind,but you do get a cool sticker,hoho.
They do give off a fair bit of dust though,so if you have polished rims,wipe `em clean after every ride.
Got EBC HH in the rear caliper on one 1100,they seem fine too, but I use Carbon Lorraines in the fronts.
