Like I said, I love the looks of my STOPTECH slotted. They make drilled and slotted as well. good quality as well.

Yes, pads can be had for cheap and easily replaced.

Curious to know if you're flushing and refilling that Motul yearly as suggested on the label. I've seen data demonstrating Motul attracts water at a much higher rate than other fluids and is why I chose Castrol SRF.

I used to use Motul in road racing motorcycles and noticed a softer lever as well as fade until changing to ATE.

Since I track. I'm now using Castrol SRF. I flush once a year. Both the brakes and clutch. When I was doing trackdays with the bike. I was using ATE until they changed it. Then I switched to Motul 660. My VRF has Castrol SRF in it now because of the Z. Plus my Power Wagon has Castrol SRF too.

Well, I bought the R1 Concepts eLine set. I am sure it's not the best out there, but it was a decent compromise between price, looks and performance - read a bit on some other fora about how they hold up, didn't see anyone here using them. I've got other projects I need to pay for, too.
