What's the product code, out of interest?
I was about to post saying surely they would be fine if they stop you okay, but Googlre showed up this:
EBC GPFAX Race Only Brake Pads for Suzuki
IMPORTANT NOTE - NOT FOR ROAD/STREET USE
The high friction levels delivered by this compound is for use with race tyres only on closed circuits. It is unsuitable for street/low adhesion road surfaces and will invalidate road insurance as NOT ECE R 90 approved nor TUV tested with German ABE making use on the public highway illegal in many countries.
That was copy/pasted from product page on following:
http://www.bikehps.com/acatalog/EBC_GPFA...ycles.html
I thought maybe your pads were intended for Germany where everything has to be be TUV tested but the following talks about the UK:
http://ebcbrakes.com/ece-r90/
I'm sure for any practical purposes they'll be fine, but no expert here as it's the first I've heard of these rules. Thought I would post the above if only to open up discussion.
