Surely someone has changed out the front brake pads. It looks like I need to. I am trying to decide which front pads to use. And which pad would be better to use, Organic or HH sintered? Anyone have an opinion?

Anyone? Anyone? Just looking for a little advice for new brake pads. :hammer:

I changed mine out recently. I used EBC organic thinking they would be easier on my disks. The front pads contact the disc about .125" more toward the center which I found odd. Consequently they seem to be taking and unusually long amount of time to break in (fronts still feel weak). I'm sure they will improve as miles increase, but next time I will use the HH pads. I've always had good luck with them on my off-road bikes. $.02

Thanks for the input. I have used HH in the past, but I am unsure how they would react on the Triumphs. But any extra stopping power is good for me.

I'm using Carbone Lorraine street pads from Spiegler. The price was right and performance seems to be on par with stock (I'm not hard on my brakes) but there is definitely a little more noise, particularly when coming to a stop during light braking.

I did Carbone Lorraine SBK on my Speedie (GSXR calipers) - excellent!

(Got mine from KneeDraggers)

You mean these things have brakes?????

Thanks for the info. I think I'll go the HH route. The stock brakes feel decent to me. But it never hurt to have more bite.
