Re: Disc an Pads
OE discs are pretty good to be honest. I have them on my wets and Galfers on my drys and to be honest there isnt much difference. As for pads, everone has their differing opinions. I have just switched to Bendix on a recomendation. However for 3/4 of last year I was using EBC which usually get slated, but I found them to be pretty good. I have also heard good things about Performance Friction.

Re: Disc an Pads
I use EBC disks and pads for dry weather wheels and I find them excellent, especially when hot. No fade at all.
For wets I use OEM discs, same pads. |

Re: Disc an Pads
cheers lads.
I was told the Bendix pads were the biz and quoted £30 each but apparently they didnt do them for the sv - obviously they do! I was wanting to know if you thought the Galfer was worth the price or if the standard discs would be sufficient. I was running the EBC pads last year and they were ok - so just checking with those that know I've changed from a carby to pointy race bike this year so i have plenty of other bits to buy yet and thats why i wanted to know if the extra price was justified. x |

Also, I'm very surprised to see a set of SV forks actually bend under braking unless there has been previous damage to them that you maybe werent aware of. |

Re: Disc an Pads
Yes the SV fork are particularly soft but they wont bend just under braking. That is definately a sign of previous damage. However they do bend even in a slow off/impact.
