Front pads and drop links

[BigbadVXR]

Having read S800VXR's post on pad wear I thought I had better check mine.
Bit low I thought so I told the MOT inspector on Tuesday.
It passed with two advisories.
Low pads, they always take mine up the road and miss the rollers
Drop links gaiters perished. These have been an advisory for the last 3 years! no mention of play though?

Little parcel arrived from the "Fish"



Pads were a bit interesting, 0.5mm left on the inboard.



Drop links look a bit rusty.



Surprised they were in one piece
(excuse the toes

Doing mine tomorrow and Sat morning. What pads did you get for yrs?

Funnily enough just changed my drop links too, and fitted new front disks and pads (performance metallic ones too) not too long ago. Was a pain getting the drop link top nut off one side - ended up using a nut splitter.

Posh box for stock pads. My AP pads just came in a normal cardboard box loose!

Had my pads down to the metal, they lasted 60,000 odd.
Only on my second set now.

God knows about tyres, must be 5th set of them easy.

They're anything but stock pads. Why would you say that?
