Upgrading my 748's brakes to 4 pad calipers this winter.

Nelly, the Bendix jobbies are they ok for road use? and how much for front and backs?

The MF are excellent for road use and trackday use unless you're really on it.
Fronts are £18.95 a caliper, for the single and twin pin calipers. the 4 pads are more. The rears are about £14 I think but at the moment there are only "standard" compound available. The importers were going to bring in some supersport compound which should help a little with the 5hit rear brake on the 748-998. Haven't heard anything on them yet.

I have Carbone Lorraine SBK3 on my 4 pad calipers - good feel etc and better than the Bendix that the calipers arrived with.
