I would go for OEM nissin for road and SBS Dual carbon race for track use.
An NC is for life, not just for Christmas!

For the track I used Performance Friction carbon, superb (best I've used) but pricey. The best pads have probably improved somewhat since hrc released theirs for the nc's.
This is what I am running as well on my racebike and am also very happy! I tried them on my 675, but have to say that I preferred the Carbone Lorraine race pads that I switched to after the PF's wore out

Thanks for all your replies guys. I have 2 NC30 race bikes and thus the brakes are for race use.

In one bike I currently have SBS pads and the other EBC.

I purchased the pads below:

- Performance Friction 95 compound
- 45105-MN8-006 Which are listed as the HRC Endurance Pads listed in the 92SP catalogue
- 45105-NKD-970 Which are listed as the HRC Race pads

When I get them I will do back to back tests and get back with my thoughts.

Cheers,

Arent these the RVF pads and your bike is a VFR?

Yeah buit I am pretty sure the pads are interchangable between models.
