Yep, EBC HH better than standard. Standard S brakes aren't brill though whatever pad you use, especially early ones with small discs. There's a lot of bike to stop 
Had the standard pads fade quite badly on one occasion, a pant poopin' moment. Never had the EBC pads fade, perhaps I'm not trying hard enough.

Go OE.
They're the same as EBC - but thicker and longer lasting.

Methinks they pay your lot far toooooooooooo much money if you can splash out for bits to match your bike. Must be about 6 grand, wish I had mates like youwinger wrote: Give him a list of all the trick bits he needs,I find someone selling e'm in one job lot he can't afford e'm so guess whos had to cough up!!!!

I have EBC HH which I will be fitting.
Previously ran with standard pads and had no problems with stopping and stoppies.
Mine worked better when the pistons had a full clean out as at least one piston in each caliper was completely siezed and the rest were partially siezed with crud. Two hours of cleaning later you could push the pistions in and out like a trumpet with one thumb.
