I have ridden twice in the rain, braking nearly disappears, do I need to switch pads?

DP Brake pads are #1 in wet and dry conditions. They are sintered pads, like the oem pads, unlike some pads which are organic. Honda has the best oem sintered pad on the market, next to them is DP (formally Dunlopad). They are very porsive (sp?) and take on alot of the water instead of creating a layer of water. Plus the ceramic heat shield on the back of the pads is made from the same material as the tiles from the shuttle, something the busa needs! hehe, less brake fade!!
Anyway, the North American Importer for DP brake is Tony Mills International Inc. their # is (716) 681-8806 Ask for Tony or his son Larry. Find out all the info you need and get the name of the US distributor! You will be glad you did!

Here is a good advice:

If this is a problem...Do as all others...don't drive in the rain.
