So i want to replace my brake pads and i'm thinking Lyndall Gold+. Are the EBC ones better or worse than the Lyndall Gold+? Are these the ones i need for rear and front stock brake calipers?

After reading all the posts over the years praising the Lyndall Gold pads and how they've cured many a problem with pulsating brakes, I am going to give these a try just as soon as I need to replace the pads again. |

I put the golds on the front first and broke them in exactly like on the package. I rode them for about a week and was very impressed and bought them for the rear. I really like them. They are a deffinite improvement over the stock pads. I say go for it you wont be dissapointed. |

I see you got the Pazzo's on there. Nice. I've wanted to pull the trigger on those but $$$$$$. I've been trying to figure out a way to hook my helmet on my 9r and still lock my passenger seat with cover on. I've seen the Ebay special but it looks like the seat wouldnt have room to lock with that bracket. The only other thing i was thinking was a thin lined helmet lock. What are u using? |

see that helmet guardian on the license plate? that's been cut up and relocated. pics coming soon! it will be one of a kind. not that anything we're doing is real radical or anything, just some unique stuff i've cooked up in my head watching the snow fly and going thru the archives here. |
