Thank you, will these also give better braking performance/feeling then OEM?

So FA68 is correct when it comes to EBC.

Is everything about what you like or will these EBC or Ferodo we better them OEM, confused? :)

What bike you working on Gordone? The EBC F33 round pads are the one's that fit my 650. The rectangular pads will not fit mine.

Ok, 1981 KZ650-D4, FA68 should be correct as fare can understand.

I checked my pads and I have enough for 1-2 seasons more.

But if these will make the brake better will I consider upgrade before these season!

Notice those Ferodo pads are organic not sintered - that's good. If you look at the "Note" in the "Product Description" it warns about using other pads that are sintered on bikes that did not originally come with rotors intended for use with sintered pads. Image below shows that warning. Ed

Modern organics are not the same as they were 30-40 years ago. As I said it depends on what the rotors were designed for. I was using NOS organic pads with stock KZ 900 rotors. When I went to the later KZP rotors, the pads went away and caused pulsing at the lever.

I'm using those Ferodo pads on my 750 and they work well. I think they are about as aggressive as you can get without tearing up your discs. And speaking of that, some guys use sintered pads for the breaking performance understanding that they will tear up the rotors faster than if using organic pads. Here in the USA it's easy to find replacement discs so if they get tore up it's no big deal to replace them.

If by chance you want to buy those that I linked and the seller doesn't want to ship overseas, PM me and we'll work something out where I purchase them for you.

Thank you :)

I think these must be a upgrade for these season :)

Ordered two set now! :)

I don’t rfmember if the rear pads is the same? If so can I use the old front pads rear...

Looking forward to test the brake when the season start in May :)

I guess it will not be a problem to find rotors from us on ebay for me? Of course some shipping cost....
