I agree with ssjones. I recently changed the pads to the EBC sintered "HH" pads and noticed a big difference. The stock brakes are fine but can feel soft. They will stop the machine in a hurry, they just don't feel like they will. The sintered pads give quite a bit more feel. One of the differences in the "crappy" brakes on the America and the "outstanding" brakes on the Thruxton is mearly the pads. The Thrux has the sintered pads from the factory.
