Street Twin Brakes

I would say brakes on my Street Twin can be described only as adequate, and after some research decided on EBC HH replacement pads. Due to current events I have only managed very few miles since fitting but there is a marked improvement in the braking performance, which should improve with more miles. SBS came in at a good price but levelled out with the added postage, but very reliable service as usual.

Great aftermarket replacement for OEM.

EBC Double H brake pads are probably the most recommended aftermarket brake pads by DIY servicing riders that I've come across. I typically use my bike exclusively for commuting with the occasional weekend run through the hills. While these pads are great for everyday use I do find them slightly lacking in the wet compared to OEM pads. I found the OEM Honda pads were pretty consistent regardless of weather, but EBC Double H pads just don't have that same bite on first application in the wet as they do in the dry. Overall they are still great pads and you can partly overcome the wet braking issue by braking a little earlier than normal in the wet, or dragging the brakes slightly to disperse the water and warm the pads before harder brake application. Just be sure to allow yourself a little more space in case of emergency braking.

Speed Triple RS rear pads

One of the few gripes with the speed triple is the rear brake being almost nonexistent. I was recommended to change the pads as the cheapest way of improving them- instant better feel, bite an most importantly actual stopping ability. As always excellent service from Sportsbikeshop- arrived the next day well packaged. Thanks
