I think you may have misread the OP mate, I haven't fitted new pads or anything. I just wanted to guage opinions on the Eicher brake discs and pads as i'm thinking of fitting them to my 75 in time for the MOT next month.

I am using eicher discs and pads, i noticed twice in 6 months a little squeal on light braking after it has been wet. But on the whole very pleased i will buy them again.
