    I have a sixth gen and need new brake pads. I called the local stealership and hey quoted me $125 for pads all around. I am poor dude so I wanted to see if I had other options. Would you guys use these on your bike, they seem almost too good to be true, but I've never bought motorcycle brake pads so I don't know what's good. All I know is that these are almost 1/4 what the dealership quoted me.

    Word. Thanks gentlemen. I may still need to order a fairing bolt kit from them, unless you all know a good place to buy the rubber nuts used on 6th gen fairings

    I got a bag of the little rubber well nuts from tpoparts.com. They work very well.

    I got a bag full of bike fasteners from Kurveygirl.com. The well nuts that the 6th gen uses is under the windshield fastener section. Or any M5x.8 well nut from a generic distributor would work. Just order the length you want.
