I'm with Fluffy.

Recently fitted EBC 'HH' over standard pads and the difference is great. Much more feel and stopping efficiency greatly improved. Fit braided hoses aswell for even better feel.

Hey up essexbloke

Got a complete set of braided hoses including clutch and rear caliper for Â£92 from M&P in stainless with stainless fittings and banjo bolts. EBC pads were Â£35 delivered from BFM motorcycles for the front pair.

Pads will take you 30 minutes max to replace and is well worth doing. Only possible downside to EBC 'HH'pads is as they are a sintered compound they supposedly make the disks wear quicker. I've had mine on for a couple of thousandmiles with no problems and no loss of disk thickness.

Braided hoses take a bit longer to fit but its an easy enough job. Its best to drop the fairing off completely so you can route the hoses properly and so that you don't damage the paintwork. I fitted a complete front end conversion so needed to remove the fairing anyway.

Give me a shout if you need any more advice or places to contact for spares.

Cheers
