Title: What brake pads are members using?
Post by: apexhntr on September 04, 2010, 09:59:06 am

Put new pads on the front and there is some squealing.  Is there a softer compound available? Suggestions? thx

Take the pads back out & with a piece of sandpaper "round" over the edges so they are not so square / sharp.

I have never found anything that comes close to Vesrah pads, I use them on every old Jap bike I have and they give real bite and feel without any antisocial side effects, no squeal or glazing over etc in my experience.

That said, I use NOS pads, boxed sets usually bought from autojumbles or ebay, I haven't tried anything recently produced, so I don't know if their latest products are the same, but the old red box Vesrah stuff is top kit.
