eBay brake pads? - SV650.org

21-02-13, 01:59 PM

Hi all,

Been using GoldFren Sinitered Pads for years now (cheapest around) and they have never let me down. Just did a search on Fleabay to notice there are some really cheap ones from Honk Kong Land http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brake-Pads...item3cbea4db9e. Really worries me that people are buying these, just wondering what the views are here on the Org. I mean I am completely skint so always try to get the best value but puting these on 170mph + bike doesnt seem like a good idea to me. Are they even made to a standard or conform to uk specs?

Anyhow if you guys could give me you're thoughts and opinions on the pads you use that would be great. Cheers

When it comes to pads, discs, tyres.. I always get the best I can get.. At the end of the day, they might save your life!

Im with Wildkid on this. With parts like brakes, tyres etc you dont want to be skimping. Same goes for protective gear and helmets too if you ask me. These sorts of things could be the difference between life and death.

My personal preference on brake pads are EBC HH ones if thats any help.
