Title: Brake pad question
Post by: solorider on 18 July 2014, 02:12:01 pm: I have some ferodo sintergrip road HH rated pads to fit in my fazer, does anyone have these pads fitted and how do you rate them in the wet and dry?

The rear was Kyoto pads, I have also changed the brake hose as well as mine was the original with 73k miles on it.

Anyone use these Brembo ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310845970322?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310845970322?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)
