The question is, was it Orange flavoured or Apple flavoured?

Well I have the 06' and put on hel braided lines, rbf 600 fluid - still fade. Put on brembo m/c - better but still fade. Put on goldfren race pads - still fade. Got calipers greased at Aitkens - good for two days at PI, then faded at OP. Put on zx14 calipers and so far great after EC.

Good luck all.

oh yeh that reminds me, what do you want for the Gold Fren pads.??

BTW, my brakes were ok....
They must be good cause I didn't see any of you lot with all your trick bits come past me under brakes all day.. :-)

I must say, the Ferodo pads Wattie gave me helped pull the lever out, but they didn't have as good feel as the ones were that were on it. Not sure waht they were....
