I'm going to change the brake pads while changing the rear tire. I've not heard to much about brake pads for the GL1500. A dealer friend of mine (Yamaha dealer) is fond of the Scandinavian Brake pads. Does anyone have any experience with these? Recomendations? Thanks,



Steve

Is that the actual make of them Steve, ie Scandinacian pads?

I think they are marketed under the SBS brand. Here is their website

SBS are a Danish company and they are big in the car brake components field. I didn't know they made motorbike brakes, perhaps they are new to this field?

I've seen them in bike shops, mostly ones that do off road bikes. They aren't particularly cheap, prices are about the same as EBC. I would expect them to be cheaper because they are minority makers here.

Well they are a big company. Companies like that just pitch their bike part prices at a similar level to the car stuff, regardless of whether the products are good or not.
