Pyramid Parts on ebay, less than $20 from memory, 8 months or so on, no problems!

yer i got some of their rear brake pads as the originals had done 100,000km's and only use them when stopped at the lights anyhow. Wonder how well their front pads hold up(and last) under stress..

I'm running front & back pads from Pyramid Parts at the moment, no complaints here.
$15 a caliper from memory, so the price is right! I do want to try out some EBC's or Vesrah pads if I can find some to fit, just to see what the difference is.

Re: fork seals to get yamaha or generic ?
I fitted cheap seals to my forks and they did not last anywhere near as long as genuine parts for the sake of a few bucks fit yammy ones.
