RE: Brake Pads



I've only had the pads on for a few hundred miles, but they seem to work
even better than the stock pads. I have not noticed a lack of grab at any
temperature and they seem to be maintaining their aditional feel and
performance quite nicely. I even had to go from position '1' on the brake
lever adjuster to position '3' to move the initial bite point a bit closer
in.

I don't know about how the rotor will be affected though. The pads are
supposedly less metalic than the stock Triumph pads (and they do look more
organic, too) but that may not mean anything.
