Looking for Brake pads + pins & plugs
Need to do an overhaul on the front calipers. I have found everything but standard HH pads and the pad pins and plugs (only the plugs I really need). Rick Oliver has these but have not yet had a response to emails. Is there anywhere else I can get these?

From a Honda dealer.
Long distance call (use skype or something) and you can call Rick up

I'm allergic to phones
Went to the dealer. Can't get OEM pads, but I knew that which is why I was hoping for another online source. Asked for EBC which they could have supplied me but told me to go for Premier brakes as it is the same company as EBC but slightly cheaper. Was skeptical but they had them in stock and they use them on their race bikes so went for them.
They destroyed the pin plugs/caps changing the pads so ordered me some new ones.

Re: Looking for Brake pads + pins & plugs
did you give them the Pad part number or just askthem for nc30 pads? A lot of dealers in the UK too wont supply oem pads unless you give the part number.sil3nt wrote:I'm allergic to phones![]()
