I await the anwers with bated breath too, I just bought 2 sets of front pads (L&R x 2) in Scotland the last time I was back. One set are EBC pads (Fusion) and the other is the Gold Fren (ceramic carbon), you mentioned. Sort hedging my bets, so to speak. Haven't fitted either yet, that'll be next month.

The last set of pads I fitted to my RD04 were the cheapest ones from Wemoto (around £7 when I bought them I think)

I've done approximately 20,000 miles on them, and they still have plenty of bite and life left in them.

Personally, I would rather use a cheap, softer pad with good bite, that wears a bit quicker maybe, than something that wears the disks out.

HH or GG

HH Pads These have the highest coefficient of Friction and are ideal for High performance motorcycles and race track use. Some modern performance motorcycles specify HH as standard. HH Pads can sometimes prove grabby, scary in the wet and ineffective in every day use when they fail to reach a good operating temperature.
GG Pads This grade of Pad is a great all rounder and will perform well in most conditions. GG are softer than HH pads and bed in quicker on worn discs.
Mixing HH and GG Pads Many manufacturer specify HH for the front of performance Motorcycles with GG in the rear. This is because GG pads can give you more feel and control of the back brake. It is not considered safe to use HH in the rear with GG pads in the front.
