Which pads for blue spotcalipers

Post by Swoggy Loiner »

Might sound a bit of a daft question, but what pads am I looking for? Changed the standard back ones, but I'm guessing I need R6/R1 pads for the upgraded fronts? Cheers

I swear by those pads. I ran them in my Thundercat, my 955 'tona and now my Thunderace.

Long life, good wear rate on both pad and disc, and just all round rather good. Good price too going on what I've paid a pair in the past.

I need a full set for my blue spots. I have these in mine at the moment and can also recommend them. Another good thing about them is they don't make a load of dust on the white front wheel. :nod:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.

I use these pads on my YZF750, its fitted with silver spots from a 5,000 miler Fazer 1000. They are excellent pads.

I've just bought a set (thanks for the link) and now my eBay pot is empty Stig. I'd better get the wife down to the docks this weekend :lol:
