    My vote goes to EBC'S double H sintered pads, available anywhere.

    Really ?

    I've never been 100% happy with the brakes on mine. Both the non ABS and the ABS I have now.
    They just feel a bit vague compared to the EBC HH I had in my GSXR 750 before I got the Blade

    I bought these Brembos to try even though the bike has only 700 miles on it.

    Try SBS or Ferodo. Much better than EBC and I'd say SBS is on a power with Brembo's customer stuff.

    EBC pads are budget brake pads, so try something like SBS, Ferodo, Carbone Lorraine.

    We do forum discounts on SBS and Ferodo.

    Cheers

    Have to agree with Jonny on the SBS pads,

    have had a few set off of him, and rate them highly

    I've got SBS dual carbon on the track bike and there great. I'd stick with sintered for road use though.

    Dual Carbon's won't work on the road as they need a lot of heat to work and are RACE USE ONLY also.

    Really highly rate the SBS Street Excel, (Sinter).

    Let me know if you need anything.

    Cheers
