Jesus Johnny, where do you work!!!!!!! in an underground nuclear bunker ? :rolleyes:
I've heard good reports about theses S.B.S pads, so bought a front set and rear set for my 2008 zzr1400 but sold the bike before I fitted them, was going to use them on my 2010 gtr but sold that as well before I fitted them :grin: I intend on keeping my 2013 zzr1441 bloody long enough to fit the buggers :laugh: there a reasonble price as well :smiley: but remember to buy 2 packs :wink: because the listing is for one caliper only :whistling: if you want the rear as well send the guy a message he will give you a discount if you buy the front and rear.

Some serious flooding there Johnny :mfr_lol:
LOL Nice reply! :-)
On A different note, I've never used anything other than EBC HH. I have heard reports, that althought cheaper pads work fine and will cause you no problems, that because they are "harder" cheaper material, they increase the wear rate on the disks.
But who knows? Life is too short to worry about such things.

You english know all about flooding i bet
I have just been Googling and Interneting on how these rigs are constructed and then put into place ..... Amazing what man can do .. and the Debs' of this world too ! :cheesy:
Have a look at Troll A. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_A_platform (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_A_platform)
Or Oseberg A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseberg_Oil_Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseberg_Oil_Field)
Again .. amazing stuff .... "continuous flow of concrete during construction" ... lets hope the guy in charge has worked out just how many bags of cement he needs from B+Q !
Erm !! To get back to the topic :mfr_lol:
What's wrong with the OE pads ? I find them to be very good !!
Deon
Nothing wrong with OE Pads. I think EBC are Cheaper for same/better quality.
Most probably find, they are made in the same factory! :-)
Neil
I used EBC on my ZX14 and found them a bit too "hard" ( "feeling" through the brake lever was not great, especially when trailing the brakes through a corner - if this makes sense ). I will stick with the OE pads.
Anyway, each to their own I say !!
