On the way to the MOT today was not to impressed with the front brakes, realised I have never put new pads in so they are probably 15 years old, still not worn but... ?
So think it would be good idea to change them, its twin drilled discs, standard Z1000 calipers, what should I use?

What your dangly bits, best put lots of factor 30 on then get Kelly Brook to rub it in for you !

I have found non sintered pads to be better less squealing as no metal bits in, probably wear a bit faster though!!!
