Any interest in a bulk buy for 8 piston Nissin front brake pads?

Not got a price yet, but EBCs appear to be prohibitively expensive and the other options are:
* Braking (choice of many Buell riders)
* Ferodo (sounds like a good name)
* Goldfren
* Armstrong :?

I was going to target Braking as the brand.

Before I went for a price, I wanted to get an idea of how many sets we would be talking, 5? 10? 20?

Cheers

Nick

Depending on price I'm interested (as long as Ferodo or Braking)

My experience with other bikes is that Ferodo sintered pads are superb for track use but lack feel on the road.

Ferodo are on eBay for about £28 so that is my target.

I am only gauging interest. If they are more expensive than Ferodo, I won't be progressing.

I would hope to get a quality brand for substantially less than that...

In theory i should be Buell-less by tomorrow lunch time.
I should have one set of EBC Double H fronts, one set of EBC sintered rear pads and a set of front Braking pads.

Assuming the chap turns up tomorrow and collects the bike, I'll sell the pads for £50 for the lot including postage.

I'll have them if nobody else has already claimed them ;)

sorry - only just come back to this thread.

I'm not sure why (could be due to lack of heat) but the Ferodo sintered pads were very much like an on off switch on the road. I found it very difficult to apply the brakes gently in an effective way
