Was the one you received as per Image?
Just like the image. The base metal, gold, is also chic and nice.
The surface of the Brake Disc also had a semi-metallic feel to it, which seemed to work well.
Was the installation difficult?
The installation is not that difficult, and if you have enough time, it is very durable.
However, if the piston is sticking or is reluctant to move, it will take a bit of work.
When removing the pad pin or caliper mounting bolt, it is recommended that you use a good precision tool from a proper tool manufacturer if possible.
When you remove the Pad, you can push the entire Pad when you push the Piston back. (Skinning) This can be done easily by using
How was your experience with it?
Compared to the OEM, I think it worked better and had better control, and I was able to slow down enough on the circuit with my own kill at the time, and I didn't make the mistake of overrunning.
I was able to drive safely in the city and on a tour because it worked well and gave me plenty of room.
Life was longer and there was less aggression to the brake disc rotor.
Compared to DAYTONA's Red Pad, I felt it was slightly less effective and less controllable.
[Included Parts:were they on?
None
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
As my own Skill rose, there were times when I wished it would work a little more.
(Points and hangs for installation/things you should prepare together)

To reduce the squeal, chamfer the short side of the pad with an ironworking file.
Apply a thin layer of brake pad grease to the surfaces of the caliper and piston. (Base material) If you apply it on the whole side, Dust will not adhere well.
If the surface of the pad pin is covered with rust or dirt, I use about #400 water-resistance paper and inexpensive lubricant such as Kure 556, etc., and clean it with oil. Then apply a thin layer of pad grease and install.
Use a mild detergent and tooth brush to clean the caliper. Use a mild detergent and toothbrush to clean calipers. ・Parts cleaners that are less aggressive to rubbers should be used only where there is a lot of dirt. (Chain cleaner) Cleaned at
Spray the entire caliper with silicon spray and wipe it with a dustcloth. (Before installing the pad)

Replaced from DAYTONAHYPERSintered
Daytonahypersintered about 3 years and 13,000 km and is gone, so I am replacing it.
HYPER lasted about twice as long as OEM, but as expected, Rotor was very aggressive and dented a lot.
Too bad, I will not buy any more Brake Pads made by DAYTONA.
That being said, here is RKJapan's Fine alloy.
I was worried about SBS because I use it in Large type.
So I chose it out of curiosity, but I have driven about 100 km and it is quite good.
The initial braking of the Type is very powerful. The braking force is applied with a jerk at the beginning of the grip, and the car seems to decelerate slowly while maintaining the touch.
The deceleration feels like dragging Brake, not like forcing it to slide to achieve Control.
When I gripped the brake hard at the end of deceleration, the tire seemed to lock up, but when I released the brake, it quickly pulled away and the brake touch was easy to understand, so I felt it was easy to control the load near the limit.
Also Rain, but DAYTONAHYPER was originally slippery Pad was raining and the performance was even more slippery,
The performance here has not changed at all. Rather, the bite to Rotor seems to have increased.
On the other hand, I thought that the increase in vehicle weight might be a little scary, and it was.
Also, it doesn't squeak at all.
DAYTONAHYPER squeaked all the way from the beginning to the end, but this Fine alloy has been quiet from the break-in to now.
Life is not sure yet, but it feels good with less Dust.
If Life is as good as OEM, this will be the next one.

CB1300SBRearPad installed
This is the second time I have purchased this product. I have used it mainly for running events and Gymkhana, but compared to other companies, it does not cry even when I apply Cost surface and RearBrake frequently, and the BrakeField does not boil up, so I would like to continue purchasing it.
