Goldfren Brake Pads

[Rob W]

Anyone got any experience or heard anything about these pads?

The Gixxer is going to need a new set of front pads soon, and the cheapest I could find is £20 a pair thru a mate for EBC HH.

I found these on ebay:- https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLDFREN-Brake-Pads-GSXR-1000-GSXR1000-K4-K5-K6-K7-K8_W0QQitemZ290364631804QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Motorcycle_Parts?hash=item439b14aafc

Had a google for some reviews of them and most seem positive, but I was just wondering if anyone on here has used them.

Cheers, .

Doesn't this come up every few months? Some swear by them, some swear at them. A forum search should show a few long threads specifically about Goldfren

ive always used goldfren on the bikes I own..
never let me down, i use alot of braking, especially as im usually the unlucky one behind a sudden stop car!

Ive used EBC before aswell, but I always buy goldfren, so I dont see why they wouldnt be as great for you!

Sickpup uses them. I think that is a good enough recommendation.

I fitted some to the front of my TZR, not used them yet so can't comment on their performance.

[Damon]

I have used them on all my bikes both on track and the road. They have always been brilliant.

Really cant fault them for price against performance.

put them in my 07 zzr 1400, thought they were o/k but sold the bike so can't say how they last

I bought a set for mine but haven't had them fitted yet because I need new dust seals. Keep meaning to order them, so haven't tried them out yet.

They work reasonably well and lasted me a good 10000 miles on my ZX6R. Worked well in the wet and still had plenty of life left in them when I sold my bike. It's swings and roundabouts really and it's all down to your own preference. I use my brakes in conjunction with my engine so it's not fully overburdened... If Damon uses them on track, then I suppose they're good enough - They were fine for the road. If anything, a good caliper clean, pad replacement and bleed will do any braking system a deal of good.

i've got a set but was put off trying them as the other club im in slated them.

i have part worn oems on my trackbike and when i need to replace those i might give them a go on that, but ebc's on my road bike now and they're great

I got a set when i got my new disks ( Armstrong wavys )

and..they were very bad, ended up putting ebc ones in and they were 100x better

Managed to get a front set off ebay for £24.

Only done about 100 miles with them so far, so they're not properly bedded in yet, but so far they seem OK, certainly haven't noticed anything drastically different from the previous EBC ones, although as I said they're not fully ready to be abused.

I shall let peeps know how I get on with them when I've had a bit more time with them, .
