pretty much, they have a lovely progressive feel to them, the initial bit is very nice but not snatchy, the more you squeeze the brake lever the better they work and the more power is given. no wooden feeling with these pads. will just have to see what they are like in the wet.

Looking forward to an update on wet performance. Shouldn't be too long before we get rain again.

DP pads bedded in and fek me they are super good. one fingered braking no problem. no fade and just tons of endless grip. grabbing a handful in anger results in serious stopping power and if i'm going to be honest a bit too good with the radial brakes i have on the bike.

i strip and service my brakes one a year so they are always in top notch condition so putting different kinds of pads on i can tell the difference. EBC are wooden compared to the DP and you can stick the galfer up yer arzz as they are the worst pads i have ever used. the DP feel very much like the SBS i have had in the past but with a loot more grip and control.

i dont know what they would be like on the standard SV callipers but on the GSXR radials they are simple stunning.

I have mine stripped and ready to bolt up now. Never tried bendix pads but some seem to like them. The pads which were on the bike when I got it were almost new done 50 is miles can't see what they were but they are poor very wooden with no feel at all it's jut on or off. So looking to replace these any bendix seem a reasonable price so may give em a go. Can't find DD for reasonable money.

Hi Bibio, are you using the standard DP pad or the HH+. What GSXR have you got? I used EBC HH for road and also find them wooden too although they stop well and better on track but interesting you have more feel with DP. Might have to give them a go.
