brake pads which is best?

[Pterodactyl_imp]

Any reputable aftermarket brand will do. I've used both of these brands, and EBC, and they all perform, and last, as the pads the bike came with.





The prices shown are AUD. From Honda about 70 - 100+AUD. OEM is fine, remembering that Honda outsources these so why grease the middleman.

Nearly forgot. You might want to factor in dealer relationship. In my case more like stealer relationship.
Just to build a little on the above, look at this from the Akebono website. Akebono is a large North American brake manufacturer. This refers specifically to the motor vehicle market but the same does apply to motorcycle brake supplies.
