steel braided brakehose pioneer is Goodridge

Goodridge vs HEL

 

Goodridge

more expensive

( if not hav to cut from a longer hose...hav to trust the skill of the person cuttin it )

alloy banjo nut (stainless steel hav to order separate..more $$ )

variety of colors

 

can get from biketech21( one hose $75, buy whole set $195...not sure if it vary for diff bike anot)

 

 

HEL

abit cheaper

stainless steel banjo

variety of color

 

can get from vector one

[Defield]

Hi guys,

So what brake pads are good enough for a Phantom? I mean better braking power than the stock ones and how much it costs? Btw where's this HKL shop? Its charges is it much lower than other shops?

Agreed.... will try another brand soon... the Fizzpower simply cannot make it in the wet.

[hachi]

Just get Ferrodo, SBS and Vesrah if u wan below $20 pair.

Cheap and reasonable performance I would say.

[STORM]

Any one tried AP brake pads before? would like to know the performance compare to ebc hh brake pads.

 

Thanks

[A.B.C]

so where is EBC available?

thinking of changing along with brake hose

[hachi]

Now using Vesrah HH sintered cost $35 for a pair and doesnt need to pump ur brake in wet.

U all can also try it.

U can get from eversuccess.

U need to pump ur brake in order to dry ur brake to be more effective in wet.

With fizzpower and SBS i need to pump my brake in heavy rain but this pads prove to be effective in wet and need minimum pumping in wet.

[hachi]

where u changed it?

how much for the front and rear?

is it better then ebc?

but its definitely cheaper than ebc..........hehe

[hachi]

For front is less than $80 for 2 pairs + GST.

Rear I am using SBS.

I nv use EBC before so I do not know.

But since Vesrah is a reputable brand and also a sintered brake pad and also HH rated so I choose it.

Be advice sintered material are not rotor friendly.

But I intent sell the bike about a year later so I dont really care.

So which do you recommend?Now deciding whether SBS, Vesrah or Goldfren (HH) is a good buy. SBS ceramic quoted $18 at HKL. Goldfren (HH) quoted $38 at K&T.
