Goofy1,
in the "brake pads" thread (one page back) we were talking 'bout different brands of brake pads. I use Carbone Lorraine pads and especially the rear brake benefits by it. It's no longer a on-off affair. The rear OEM pads were gone at 5 K miles.
C.L. supplies material to stop Formula 1 racers,high speed locomotives,freight trains,TGV brakes,Airbus A300,A310,Mirage F1,Tigers,Sikorsky helicopters,rally and Nascar cars,AMX30 and AMX10 military tanks,industrial windmills and mine winches.Last expansion of their range are motorcycle brake pads -even for Triumphs (Nissin calipers, remember). I think they can't be that bad at all...
I'm not pushing-try something else than the originals-it'll better anyway.
