I think they're OE and I've got a little over 20k on the bike. I ordered sintered metal pads which is what I use on my other bike and they seem to be okay-- good stopping and don't tear up the rotors too much. What do you guys think?
Remember that basic inspection and maintenance will save you money and could save your arse - or somebody else's arse.

I have the same view. There's nowt so important as tyres and brakes.
