Are the Kyoto ones in your link definetly for a K3? They look a little different to the EBC ones.

PS - not an expert or anything - just an observation. I use sintered - they last longer and seem to have a bit better stopability...IMO.

I've got Goldfren sintered HH pads on. They make a different noise to stock, and probably eat discs faster. Bite is ok though. No idea about Kyoto.

Goldfren are fine, had them on my Trackbikes for years and work very well

i got there goldfren
came next day and they seem alright

cool have orderd the gold fren ones ^ already had the rear one but dont use the rear so dont know how well it works lmao

£24 inc P&P money well spent, my breaks are going to feel totaly difforent now, with service calipers, and new braided lines and now new pads

i still had the stock pads on there and the bike has 15000k so not idea if they have ever been changed but wouldent pass a mot in the curent state so hoping for some nice added stoping power unfortuantly i will more than likley want to get some new fork springs now

let me know how you get on please. I'm coming up to needing some new pads, and im afraid this is one of few areas of a bike about which i know very little. Would like to hear which pads are considered best / longest lasting / most feel etc.
