Hoo..good!!

I was in their website, didn't manage to get to that place where you get the sizes, excellent!

So I suppose what i need to do now is take one of my pads out, measure it and find what part number it is....and then I can buy from any brand as long as it's that specific size...

please correct me if I'm wrong..
thanks!

cool...found that bit where you can select the caliper and then they show the recommended pad!

perfect, mine is there..I think, just need to go outside and check my caliper, but I think it's the first of the list..

Ho boyÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â¦this will never end..

Am trying to find out how much it costs and all the websites, when I get to choose the pads it asks for bike manufacturerÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â¦but I can't go by bike as it's a specific caliperÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚Â¦

What to do?
Also read that the DS3000 are not meant for road use???

Probably it's advisable to steer clear of anything that's not for road use (ie for track or race use) as they likely won't get hot enough to work properly on the road. They can also be quite nasty when wet. Better to stick to something that is aimed at road use.

Not sure what happened to the reply I posted on this

The pads listed are not necessarily bike specific pads and some should be avoided altogether.

IIRC only the Mintex 1144 are bike pads designed for road use.

I'd give a few motorcycle dealers a ring and ask them which pads are best or try AP and ask them which they recommend
