Which brake pads 749?

stuart hill · 25-Jul-2006, 11:25

Apologies if this is going over old ground but I'm interested to know what brake pads are considered most worthy for the 749? Do I stick with the OEM route or aftermarket?

Thanks,
Stu

OEM are pretty good, but pricey. The Bendix MF compounds are very good and a bit cheaper to boot.

Using EBC HH in my 999S,....no problems at all.

Do the OEM ones for sale in the trade section fit?? They are for the 4 pad calipers so you will need TWO caliper sets if they are suitable.

I vote for the Bendix Stuart,

Got them in my road 900ss with Wavey discs and my DD bike with full floaters and they treat the discs better as not so hard.

Bendix in the P4 / 34 calipers on my 4S... damn good!

on Brembo Z04 pads - much better than anything cheaper IMHO!

Get the original brembo ones...............for the half price cost they represent a real good bargain,..............and i defy you to recognise any difference to others,
