Those are just the Nissin four pots, right?

If so, then you can buy far better pads from companies like EBC for half the price of factory Triumph parts. And you can get them anywhere, online or locally. I bought my last set from the local Honda/Yamaha dealer, or you can try CycleGear or something like that.

I'd go with a sintered or ceramic/metalic composite on the front, with an ordinary Organic Kevlar pad on the back. No need to make the back any more grabby than it has to be. EBC or Galfer pads are both good.

If you are a real nutjob and fancy yourself a stoppie king, then you could look into some fancy super-grabby ceramic pads. 'Course you gotta be a millionaire to afford them.
