KZ1000 a2 brake pads

#1 PostAuthor: martfxr » Fri Nov 16, 2018 7:49 pm

Hi
Got my registration number (v5) in the post today, so first ride out on Sunday
Can any one recommend performance improving brake pads for the front single disc.
Even my old Harley has a better front brake! ( I did change the calliper)

Regards
Mart

hi mart, if you are looking at long term ownership its probably worth upgrading to twin discs.

It depends how good you want them to be?

Twin disc is a start. Or you can go all out with braided lines only or with multi pot calipers.

EBC disc with Dunlopads, virtually as good as modern bikes :)
