The time has come to do my front and rear pads. The world has moved on and it seems that there are a myriad of materials that the same pad can be made of. I don't want to change the discs, and ride the bike on the road so need brakes to work from 1st sec (not warm up like a racer). Ideally I would like to put some pads in that are a little better than OEM... Does anyone please have some recommendations and any idea of price and distributor ? (also would be interested to hear how much OEM pads are). Thanks, bugs
I just used OEM Brembos from HPS. Not cheap but Ive been very happy with their performance on my 1198. Brembo Brake Pads for Ducati motorcycles
I've just ordered EBC HH's for the front and rear: Front - 2 sets: FA244HH - EBC Sintered Motorcycle Brake Pads Rear - 1 set: FA266HH - EBC Sintered Motorcycle Brake Pads .....I'm in the process of negotiating a forum discount with EBC Brake Shop - EBC Bikes Shop | EBC Brakes | EBC Brake Shop | EBC Motorcycle Brakes Quite a bit of brake pad talk here;-) http://ducatiforum.co.uk/f6/soft-ba...low-cost-modification-13343/?highlight=brakes
I switched to SBS from Brembo. Feel just as good, got them from the local Ducati dealer who stocked both. OGR
Discount - getting there, we have discount codes for 5% off sales of £100+ and 10% off sales of £300+ see here: Motorcycle Info Pages - Recommended Stuff > EBC Brake Shop ....still trying to persuade them to give a discount on full brake pad sets i.e. 2 x front pairs + 1 x rear pair
