IIRC any 158 size will fit the L series calipers.

I have spent £37 on EBC HH ones before, but nowdays I just get whatever £10 set is cheapest off ebay.

Pads a pad.

I was told that HH pads are the best ones to get

deepends on how you ride and how you use the bike, HH will wear quicker and kill the disks quicker, but will give much better stoping performace

I genraly use HH on the 750 as i only take it out when thrashing it now adays. I got about 2-3,000 miles out of the pads that are in now. There very low now tho pritty much on the metal backing!

as for the crossers i use whatever as the brakes dont work anyway lol

Sack that lol. whatever i drive i like to know the brakes work well

off road bikes have shite brakes for a reason, when you stick the front brakes on it genraly locks quite quickly.

And as everyone knows if you lock the front theres a good chance your going down!

Ah there is a good chance your goin down if the front brake locks but if you dont stop before you hit that wall your defo goin down lol

[rene]

way i normaly stop is jam both brakes on so the bike goes side ways skidding though the mud, stops you rather quickly!

but if the you get stuck in a rut you very quickly become superman!

Thanks for the help chaps.

I do have to say though, that I was messing around the other day lifting my back wheel under heavy braking, and my front wheel locked, but I didn't lose it, though I did nearly poop myself hehe
