Wouldn't Buy EBC discs though, had them two different bikes and had to take took them off as they did not work when cold and worse in wet cold..
Using Brembo discs ever since.

Thanks - the brembo ones seem harder to get hold of - after a very quick look.
Reading back through the forum the EBC ones always seem to be at the bottom of the favourite list

Noticed that too but I find the HH ones excellent. I think the complaint was high wear level on the discs which I never noticed. My 600 discs were close to the wear limits at 70000miles but did not think it was to do with the EBC pads, but more down to use as I worked in the city and to many traffic lights  Big Grin
On the wear issue and city riding and red lights - my thinking is that you would be lighter on the breaks because you just dont need them as much as you would if you spent your time flying around country lanes.

I was doing both, country lanes and city, but I use the geabox a lot on the twisties, in slow fast out, which is why I rarely get more than 3-4000 miles out of the tyres
Sounds like the perfect riding mix for testing brakes.
+1 on using the gearbox.

Thanks

Been using the Galfer G-1054 pads for a few years now, as they are very gentle on discs but work well in all weathers.
I maintain the calipers before and after winter to keep them running smoothly, but the pads last a very long time and don't even crumble on the edges like some pads can do. They look like new when given a clean up.
I bought some more quite a while ago as they are sometimes sold at a bargain price by Calsports on Ebay, so it made perfect sense to buy something that would no doubt rise in price further down the line.
Great pads for the front, but i still use SBS Ceramic on the rear.

Seems to be 1054 1370 and 1375 but I cnot find any 1370 only 1054 and 1375 ( which seem a bit OTT )

I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
