soooooo im in the market for some fresh brake pads for my Husky

Front rotor got a hot spot and warped, so i have a fresh 320mm brembo rotor being shipped to me, and will be replacing pads too. have asked the guys on another forum and got 11ty billion different opinions about a bunch of brands that i am unfamiliar with (apart from EBC). my problem is im a motorcycle noob and i dont know any of the guys well enough to trust opinions.

my bike is my daily, but i will have it out on the track from time to time, so im not keen on anything that i need to warm up too much but i do want something with bite (i know its like asking for the holy grail :P )

looking for some input from Roo or Pete or Robbie, or anyone else who has been around bikes for a few years :)

cheers!

Not sure how valid my opinion in brakes are because i have only used the one brand/type of pads for my bike, not to mention it is not a road bike, but i use EBC pads for my RM250, and it pulls up nicely compared to when i first got it.

There is not really a lot available for my bike in terms of brake pads, but i cant fault them in terms of stopping power. I only choose them because it was brand that is reputable, and i don't think ill be changing to a no-name brand to save a few bucks when these are reliable, and work well for my application.

they dont do colours for ebc brake pads for motor bikes (i wish they did cos then my choice would be clear).

they offer sintered pads, carbon pads or organic pads.

Im leaning toward sintered EBC pads.

BUT i just dont recognise many brands for motorbikes, the other ones might be the ducks nuts or the ducks red headed step child

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
