I bought 3 Brembo Serie Oro, expensive but well worth it, the 3 cost nearly €500.
Braking as goods as, if not better than the originals.
Had a few major Foc ups with discs over the years with disc fading (not Pads) or non existent brakes when cold and wet , wasn't take any more chances.

I wasn't sure about the cheap chinese ones, or the expensive OEMs.  I found a good compromise with Ferodo.  Done 5K miles on them with no problems.

Only had rear EBC, i would never buy them again from experience.


What exactly is wrong with your front discs?
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.

Got a pair of 2nd hand ones. Only wanted 1 side. Used old brake shoes as they was nearly new. Bike brakes now superb. Thank you

If you're going to keep the bike go OE worth the expense, or look for second hand just check for serviceability before parting with your cash.  Most good after market Bembo (almost as much as OE), are ok some just wear much faster i.e. EBC.
