Blackshadows and EBC's on my bikes.

Funnily enough I got caught out too at the weekend in a torrential downpour and some temp traffic lights caught us out and I finished braking a few meters from where I would have liked to have been.
Twas Blackshadows on their own make pads. I will be looking forward to changing to my usual EBC pads as I hope they will improve the all round performance.
they wern't that bad i just had to pull the leaver a bit harder to stop where i wanted. just felt like 'whos put air in my brakes' kinda thing where as the last ones were same wet or dry. ooohhh well i'll live with it coz i aint spending £260 a disc lol
