Never heard of them. I use pads form Hein Gericke.

A lot of pads on ebay are goldfren. I had a set in the ZX6R as they came, with almost no wear in a set of calipers that were given to me. They seemed just fine to me, but I wouldn't class them as an upgrade over what was in there before.

They are on eBay, and they are doing a set for £25.00+del. The standard pads that were on my bike were fine "persay", but as I've got replacement calipers might as well change the pads while I'm trying to get the bike back on track.

I currently use them on my SV, They have been in there a while, nearly a year I'd guess (circa 10,000miles) still plenty left.

Definatly better than the OE pads I had, the hotter they get the more they bite.

Have done a trackday on them too.

Good for the money.

only one gripe... no wear indicator grooves so difficult to see when they are at or aproaching the legal limit.

They're the snasauges,

I only fitted the HH to the front, left the rear organic as I have never felt it wanting.
