OK, it's now time to change the brake pads on my 1125R - so do I go with Braking, EBC or SBS pads ?

Recommendations ?

Not really a recommendation, as I still have the standard pads in mine, but based on my previous experience with their products, I will be changing to EBC (HH) pads.

I didn't get on with the standard pads, EBC ones were better, currently running with SBS, but I'll be able to give a better back to back comparison after I do Mallory on Oct 16th, (provided its dry).

God only knows which planet I was on this morning - I meant to post this in Buell chat ! :headbang:

Should have also said that I consider my riding style to be "plodding" :oooops: - never done a proper track day in my life - so I just want pads that will perform well for everyday use - not concerned about how long they last as long as they stop well when I need them.

I had to change my rear pads earlier this year, I put EBC HH on. I will be doing the same with the front when they get low, this could be a while though as I don't really use the front brakes much!
