Brake pads for -08

[R1000]

Which brand and type of brake pads provides the best bite and feel on a Busa -08? Anyone tested aftermarket pads and can report significant improvements?

I've replaced the lines and master brake cylinder, but will also change to other pads if this will impove the stock wooden brakes.

EBC HH pads. They take serious punishment with pride.

I'm using Carbone Lorraine.

They're an upgrade, for certain.

Highly recommended.

I know a lot of people are using the EBC, but different brands and different compounds perform, well, differently.

One thing to learn about is whether the replacement pads are sintered (what percent metal is used in the pad, or if they're completely organic).

Good luck with your decision...

I think if you do a search you will find several people have upgraded the brakes. I used Galfer HH pads lines and wave rotors and the bike is way better than stock.

EBC HH. A link to some test results.. EBC Brakes | EBC Extreme Pro? Performance and Race Brakes | Performance Video & Results Graphs
Braided steel lines will make a far more noticeable difference than the best pads alone. Combine braided lines and top quality brake pads (of any brand) and you got 2 finger wheel lockers.

EBC HH pads for me too.

I've now ordered both brands, i.e. the EBC HH and Brembo SA pads, so I'll notice any significant difference between them later. I have two sets of wheels complete with brake disks and pads for each set.
