Goldfren brake pads?
 
morning all,

For an '02 curvy...

My front pads are getting low and brake lever is cr@p, despite no seizure on calipers, so think of switching to some HH pads...

So I was just wondering what experience people have had with switching front pads?

cheers :)

I've recently fitted these to the front.

I read quite a few reviews saying they did not provide a great deal of "feel" and "bite" but there's also quite a few that swear by them and they are very well priced. Before I changed to Goldfren my front brakes didn't promote much confidence in my riding, they just didn't seem to grip enough but saying that they had been on quite a while and were due a change. I've tried quite a few more expensive brands in the past on bikes; Brembo, EBC etc but I'm more than happy with the Goldfrens I now have on the curvy. Great for the money.

used them on stadard sv calipers and were fine, and seem to be ok on the brembo's although disc's are warped so not 100% how good they are yet

these are the pads i've used ever since i got my Fazer 2.5 years ago, and I will admit I got them because they were well priced, but I have been very happy with them hence using them ever since.
