With all the discussions we've had on here about braking, i don't understand why you've chosen such a naff make of pads?
For about £15 more you could have had all round SBS pads that have been thoroughly talked about, will fit properly and have a generally high review!
I dunno what rear disc you have on either, but you've bought sintered pads too, which from personal experience i wouldn't have recommended.
I will always tell anyone to spend a few more quid on pads, as i think it's kind of important to stop the bike when you want it to, rather than when lousy pads decide to kick in!
Sorry to sound a bit harsh but it's just the way i see it.
Dont worry Darrsi it wont be happening again
but we all make mistakes from time to time 
I hear what you say though,the one thing you shouldn't skimp on is the things that stop you , suffice to say the pads will be changed[/quote]
I wasn't taking a dig, honestly, i just feel that 'stopping' always comes before 'hitting'...! ! !
It's "the" most serious part of any bike!
If you don't slow down when needed, then chances are you ain't riding that bike again for a while!
