    Thanks for the share and link.

    I hope they're good. Take care for the first few miles because as you know, cheap isn't necessarily good - especially when it comes to brakes.

    Nigel they’re SBS Street Excels, they’re the pads of choice lately! I’ve just managed to find a place that sells them considerably cheaper than elsewhere :)

    They are what most people run on street now and on track most now use SBS Dual Carbon, much better than EBC etc.

    Apollo, I think you’ll find that EBC GPfax pretty much blow SBS dual carbon into the weeds! Nothing comes close for the money.

    I've used SBS pads a number of times and for road use they're where I'd go for a replacement pad.

    been using SBS for years, totally adequate for my needs but though a little harsh on my brembo discs

    I got these aswell a while back... also running brembo discs.... at moment im not super happy with the pads doesnt seem much bite at first. Might change to brembos which is what i always used. But price was good around £40 ish for the SBS top road ones. But now reading this im bit unsure now. They new so do i change for sake of it to brembos. Yet to test SBS on track yet

    Wow! Who EVER would put orange wheels on a black bike? That looks magnificent! Well done.

    Gotta be done! MotoGp test style - Brand new matt black fairings for front and side on route from states to finish it off. Still more to add. Few bits changed since that pic also

    mimy discs are oros, not proper HPK, apparently the material is softer than OEM and wears very quickly.

    The initial bite is not that strong but very predictable after that point. I tend to get 4-5k out of them

    Just ordered these but not the back pads as there asking £24 for the rears, so I ordered the full set of fronts for £31 delivered from bikespeed and then a £20 set of rears delivered from EBay , total cost £51 :)

    Huh? If you add the two postages together, you might have paid more than if bundled together just from Bikespeed! (Just sayin';))

    Nope it was £55 delivered from bikespeed and £51 ordered separately which is why I did it :) I invested the £4 wisely and I’m now a millionaire ;-)
