Good to see that everyone's results are pretty much the same as my initial thoughts. 'they're cheap for a reason'.I'm after a set for the rear of the r1 that aren't too harsh as I use quite a bit of back brake (>20mph and filtering mostly) I'll probably stick with bendix MF and just not press the pedal as hard :P
I don't really understand why all the 600 guys want to put the blue spot caliper on the back of their bikes. Ok, so I haven't ridden a 600 in a long while, and can't remember what the back brake is like, but even with standard pads, the blue spot is too much really; or at least, I find it to be. And that's on the heavier thou. Brilliant on the front though.
Erm...... I've got an R1.
