I use and recommend EBC FA244-HH for the front. Can't remember the number for the rears.

I've been using EBC  HH series pads for years.  I would bet they'll work fine.

The original pads in my '07 Norge were Brembo's and they lasted an incredible amount of time/k's.
So much so that I started to wonder if I'd replaced them and forgot to enter it in the maintenance log, but I think not.
Recently in London, I had ocassion to check the EBC's and found the rear ones were shagged, a mercy dash across town secured a set of Brembo's for the rear and although I can't recall the cost, I don't recall being shocked adversely at the price.
My failing memory says about £45, which was not too bad I reckon, but I may be in error..

 EBC FA244/FA181 HH are the right pads. Don't look any further than these, they are the best for performance and disc wear.

Thank you all for the info!

Thanks Dave, 181's at the rear.

Just as an addendum to this it's worth noting that replacing your pads earlier rather than later is a really good idea.

I'm very easy on brakes because I ridelike a colossal softcock but I recently flipped the previous set of 244's I was running in the Griso and installed a new set. I'd been deliberately 'Not Doing It' for a while, not because I'm completely 'Suspender Snappery' tight but simply because they were working OK and, as stated, I don't use them much, at least not in anger.

New pads were fantastic! Really, a huge difference. Now I know that it's easy to become blasé but I didn't come down in the last shower ofrain, the calipers were fine and I do my brake fluid religiously every big service so I was a bit surprised at how different it made things.

Serves me right I suppose for being incautious and cavalier.

Suspender Snapping Content:

Pull the pads and rough them up with some coarse sandpaper (the concrete driveway will stand in if no sandpaper available) to knock the glaze off the old pads.  Reinstall.  Keep riding.  Must squeeze every nickel out of things like brake pads!!!
