    Brake pads

    Before purchasing new brake pads for my 79' xs11 special, i was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the best pads to buy.

    For the Special, there isn't much choice. EBC has pads and....

    I ordered sintered pads from BREMZEN on 12 March. I haven't seen them yet. I'm aware of no other options.

      Vesrah makes pads for the special also (or at least they did a couple of years ago). Try denniskirk.com

      Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.

        Wow, good find! I would definitely try those, as I have tried most of the rest and non were any good.

          I'll let you know when I get them. They're getting a phone call today.
