Yeah, me. They are very good, especially on wavy discs

I use sintered Brembo pads on my XV1600 with blue spots and they are great.
The TRX will get blue spots with sintered MetalGear pads, which I received yesterday.
I only hope the sintered pads don't eat the wave discs

I'm using Bendix racing pads on the trackbike, they are very good but need a fair pull to really bite. I found the Gold Fren racing needed a bit less lever pressure. I am happy with either.

Over the years I have used Bendix, EBC, Galfer and SBS. All good pads. Recently switched to DP on my other bike. I used the SDP HH+ compound. Best I have used to date. High initial bite and lots of feel. They will definitely be going on the TRX track bike.

Should be fine, I used them previously with my Galfer wave rotors, the pads definitely copped the worst of it!
I've got Galfer pads in at the moment, only because they came up cheap, I'd use Metal Gear again no worries.
