    What front pads do should i use? OEM or After market?

    Is there a big price difference between the 2?

    Thanks

    It all depends on what you are using them for. As in road or track riding.

    Also remember that Honda do not make brake pads. It is another company making them and put in a Honda box. So you will obviously be paying for that.

    If you go for a named brand like EBC, BREMBO etc, you can't go wrong.

    IMO I would also seer well clear of cheap pads on Ebay. There have been lots of counterfeit parts going around so make sure you buy from a reputable dealer/seller.

    If you can get a Brembo master cylinder, a great combination

    What model bike do you have ?
