Best brake pads?

[SR1]

Ok, apparently 05 Sprints use the same pads as 01-04 models. What pads do you guys like most for sporty riding and touring? Where do you get them? Thanks!

I posted the same question a couple of weeks back and got a few answers. Check it out.

I went with the EBC's.

This subject like almost all other "which is best" threads isn't new. Over on the T595 list it was really beaten to death several times and they referenced some actual tests in MCN and other sources. Although EBC's name is mentioned a lot, because everyone KNOWS that aftermarket has to be better than stock, the Triumph stock pad seems to be considered an excellent pad and near the top of the list. In a test done by MCN, Carbone Lorraine A3+, a touring pad, beat out the race pads. That was a couple of years back and things change. I run A3's all around and have no complaints.

Triumph pads work well at $90.00 US a pair while EB’s work just as well for about $35.00 a pair.

Jerry,
Reckon that's why I've got CL's. When I got them, they were about $32/pr and they through in the rear for free when I bought both fronts. They wear great too.
