Was poking around to see what part number for ferodo platinums for the rear brake of the rgs and found this list:-

page 50

I thought they would be the same pads as the front but they list fdb148 for the front and fdb108 for the rear. What's the difference?

aLSO NOW THAT dUCATI gOLD cOAST HAS BEEN BOUGHT AND MOVED WHERE CAN i GET THEM IN bRISBANE?

stupid caps lock, sorry.
 
Hi Drikko
This mob at Burleigh Heads might be able to help.

Pad manufacturers often specify less grippy pads for rear fitment.

OK for the less experienced I guess, I don't mind having the rear locking up... :o

That's interesting on my 180 I thought it's function was to clean the rust off the disc :D

Good point Bevelman! Tommy's doing it a bit tough at the moment. Good to support a very small business.

Just found a pair of EBC organic FA18 pads in the cupboard, will try them. I think they were bought for the rear brake on the K11 as they are the same caliper.

Yeah well Tommy, bless his soul, should get his asrse outa bed a little earlier than 10 am
 
Nah Cosi, he's a single parent chasing kids around before the shop. He sorted me out with a couple of Guzzi bits at 8:30 the other week, so I'm happy.

Oh and it is worth calling by to have a perv at the Magni Australia..... :P :P :P

EBC HH pads everytime.

  EBC HH are a very good pad but not suitable for a cast iron (standard issue) disc as they will wear the disc out as quick as the pads wear. For standard iron discs I fit EBC Organics.

The ones I found were GG. I couldn't find a lot about them on the web except they were easy on discs as opposed to the metalish ones.

Glad I changed them out, about 1/4 of the pads were missing ie not worn down, but it looks like the pads were falling apart, chunks of material gorn. They were Ferodo 4004F which are semi metallic apparently.
