Air filter and Brake pad replacements

[orose]

Couple of quickies for the more experienced amongst you:

I've just gone past 12,000 miles, and I've had a look at the service book posted on the main site which suggests the air filter is due to be changed at that service point. Is it worth me buying a filter such as a K&N replacement (http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=SU-6503) and fitting it myself before it goes in, bearing in mind I've got a fuel end can as well?

At roughly the same time, I'm going to be due for brake pads. Does anyone have any recommendations for standard (ie, slow) road use?

Thanks in advance.

I've just fitted a K&N. Same price as the OEM item, but it's washable :-) Also fitted EBC HH pads, much better than standard

I'm selling a K&N filter for £15 which you can have along with some tank raisers - check the for sale section

cheers

Thanks in advance.Hein gerickes own pads are fine. Less abrasive on the disc than HH's. Theya re made by Carbone Lorriane apprenlty.
