Default 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.

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.
