Sports bike shop mate. They seem to have deals and their customer service is cracking. And they have just opened up 10 mins away so even better now

This place is good.
It will not be the cheapest but they give good advice.
If looking to save a little money the SBS pads are just as good as Brembo from my experience. JHP stock them for Ducatis which says lots about the quality of the pads.

SBS are good pads and supposedly exactly the same as Bendix MRR (Bendix were took over by SBS) but im not convinced. In my opinion the Bendix were a better bad.
Brembo SC are better than both but probably not worth double the money.
Bang for buck the SBS RS are hard to beat.

The Bendix MCR pad last better than the SBS DC (although they don't have much initial bite anymore)

I'm still on the look out for a decent torque wrench, so shout if you see any bargains.

Thanks.
I just think it's handy to have one in the garage. My old one broke after 15 years service.

I've never seen them discounted. A man can hope.

I wasn't that impressed with the one I got for the Honda. The quality didn't last.

Fast Bikes sister mag, Motorcycles Sport and Leisure, are doing 12 months for £30. I've subscribed. Thought I would give it a go.
