Noticed the brake pads are getting a bit thin in front with 17k miles on the bike. Which brake pads are recomended for an 03 Tiger?

I, and a few others on here use EBC HH pads. I haven't experienced any brake fade since I started using them, and in the wet they are superb.

same here, simply due to dealer selling / using these as standard. No problems with them though.

I've recently replaced front & back with "Carbon Lorraine". They are as good as the Nissin originals. In fact I think the rears are better as they seem to have reduced the grabyness of the originals which, IMHO, locked the wheel too easily.
Don't know about wear rates yet but they were around 30% cheaper than Nissins from Triumph.
