Hello Nigel,
Yes they have blue ish tinge I'm going to take them off and chech them, but I think it is best if I change them to new ones. maybe EBC rotors.

Hello Shitu, no it's not the brake pedal as I have only rode this busa 3 times and Saturday was the longest ride so far. The other two have been for a blue slip and Wentworth falls (Blue Mountains). thanks anyway.

My new pads have turned up EBC Double H, so when I have my new pures on I'll test them out next week.

My K8 has done 23000K and I have just put braided brake and clutch lines on as well as new pads all round. The rear pads were almost down to metal, front still had 2/3 left.

Hi MarkOz,
I'd say he was at the track and that's why the pads are down. I'm taking the wheels off today as I received my Kaneg front stand from Peter and can check the rotors. I'm happy with the Busa just want to get it right so i can ride it with out any concerns

I have found raging moto to be the cheapest supplier of genuine ebc hhs. Around $60 for complete set of 4 front pads and cheap freight. I would be wary of the Armstrong hhs. Paul.

hello Paul,

I paid $56.00 for EBC HH rear pads plus $9 for postage from Balmain m/c. So I went a head and got the front pads as well $198.00 and still $9.00 for postage. Just waiting for my rear rotor in EBC XC from the US to turn up $142.00USD with $38.00USD for postage. The front rotors will get in two or four weeks time.

Yeah hi John, was that through raging moto? Paul.
