    Does anyone know of a good online source for brake pads. The bike is a '04 BMW F650GS. Or can I buy them off Joe Duffy Motors (M50):confused:

    it isn't even that complicated - any bike shop should have them, or can get them (EBC). Mind you Joe Duffy will have them, and, afaik, he's not outrageous on pricing..........

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Thanks galwaytt, I might just take a spin over to Duffy's tomorrow. I will have to put the blinkers on though. Repeat after me: "you must resist..." ;-)

    I've spent over €1000 with these guys this year and got great value. Stick s060104j into the discount code box for additional 5% off. They supply Goodridge hose too.

    bought my 1st 3 pairs off EBC (well a partner site of theres) bought my next 3 pairs from Bray Honda and saved about €5 per pair and didnt have to wait for them to come from Holland to Birmingham, back to Holland, then to Birmingham, then to Dublin, guess what back to Birmingham, back to Dublin and then to me
    I would be afraid to ask what Joe would be charging, give Live Line a shout and ask him

    I'm waiting on my HRC soft-bite brake pads to arrive... dying to see what they are like.

    Hi Rory, welcome to Boards, how's the SP?

    I bought the brake pads in Duffy's today. €30+Vat rear and €48+Vat front. ouch. I will take Interceptors advice next time. And to make matters worse I have booked a test ride on a R1150RT next week. Will I ever learn. Anyone know where I can get a lower seat option for an RT? Joe wants €230. Git.

    I bought brake pads off eBay for a fraction of the cost the bike shops in Dublin were asking. Definitely go with the online option!
