Brake pad recommendations
After my last round of modifications on my 2005 Ninjette, I've been riding it around to test the new enclosed fender and revised aerotunk cover. One thing that really stands out is how much better the front brakes work on the 2005 compared to those on my streamliner. The streamliner's pads probably have gotten some fork oil contamination from some leaky fork seals that I have seen replaced. I plan to replace the front pads soon and was wondering if others have found particular brands to be better than others.

Some good info here:
http://www.ninjette.org/wiki/Which_brake_pads about pads for the new-gens. Info on brand and compound still applies, but the part numbers will be different for the older bikes.
