I had to go to the shop to replace the clutch slave cylinder for one from Sigutech. While talking to the boss there is spotted a nail in de rear tyre, lucky bastard that i am. So i had to decide, put another Pirelli on the rear or change the whole set for MPP 2CT wich are the ones i like better.

Three days later i returned to the shop, because the tyres i ordered cam in.
Rear tyre was no problem. Then it was time for the fron end to get new rubber, but when we tried to lift the wheel we heard a strange sound en with no force at all brake pad number one came falling down. I mean really falling out of the caliper.
I read simular here on the forum (can find it anymore, BERT HELP PLEASE) and i was really schocked by the state the brake pads were in.
Don't want to think about what could have happened on the road or even on the track.

Here some shitty pics to gave you an idea. These are original Brembo brakepads. Changed them for EBC.

They were my pads that got posted up as a picture. When I swapped over to some Brembo Monoblocks the old pads literally fell apart as I removed them from the old calipers. Bit shocking really. Can't find the post - we need Bert to do some searching!
I bet they are not Brembo pads, they will be Goldfren
whatever was wrong with them (looks like the usual Brembo bollox to me) you 've done the right thing swapping for EBC HH. I ran these for a LOT of miles and couldnt fault them.

They should be OEM imo
you are right, the ones that came off were Brembo ( so it said on the back ). EBC works perfect. I just had a test run this morning.
Been recommended Bendix pads by Tripod Dave and Kev. Anybody else used em
Getting worried about my current pads now. 07 SDR so might have these dodgy Brembo's. Need to order something else for piece of mind and the end of the long straight at Almeria

Bert. Amazing!

Any chance you could post up a tutorial on how to use the search engine to find things? I'm a bit thick with stuff like that and it takes me ages to find stuff.

The old Kawasaki/BMW site? Remember a dealer in Taplow from the 70's. Ah, those were the days
