Brake pads
The pads on my RVF are running low...what do folks recommend?
Previously I've used EBC HH pads - but then I've been riding big heavy 1000cc bikes for the last 20yrs. What goes well on these tiny things?

Re: Brake pads
Either nissin HH or EBC HH work well for me on OEM discs

Re: Brake pads
I was wondering on either GG or HH. Not sure what is on there. I might have a look-see, cos the current ones are just fine. Apart from needing replacing....

Re: Brake pads
Trust me - if you have been riding with HH pads for the last 20 years, fit GGs and you will think somebody has oiled your discs. They are OK and were the original fitment but even high metal content organic pads just don`t have that instant bite that you get with modern sintered metal types.
The Nissin/Honda pads are a good choice if disc life is an issue as they are slightly less aggressive than the EBCs.
