Re: brake pads
Not sure if this is any use as I have never tried them on a SV but I like EBC pads personally.

Re: brake pads
EBC fronts are around £40 for the sport type (HH Sintered) or about £33 for road (OE replacement) type

Re: brake pads
Goldfren HH pads are cheap. I found them an improvement on standard pads.
Plenty on ebay.

Re: Which brake pads?
I've got EBC GG type (road, OE) on the rear, and HH type on the front of my (01) and I'm very pleased with them, they give a good bite. Can't compare them to much though because this is my first proper bike.

Re: Which brake pads?
Aye - I dont even know what type of pads I have on mine, but judging from my caliper overhaul I reckon I have a 2-3k left before they'll need doing.
Much difference between HH and OE for road riding? |

Re: Which brake pads?
HH pads give better bite IMO.
