DP Brakes - are they any good?


I just ordered a set of RDP Racing pads for my bike, anyone know if they are any better than stock? - lets say my choices are limited with a 7 year old Buell. It makes me miss my 1978 KZ1000, theres still a bunch of after market crap available for those compared to Buells..

Thanks,

I use the RDP's on my race bike and the SDP's on my street bike.
Both work great with lots of feel and stopping power.

I think you will be fine. They will wear faster, but the real issue is that they might not get to optimum temperature. When they are cold you will not get the same stopping power as when they're to temp. That being said you will still have plenty of stopping power when they're cold compared to stock.
