Default Its time to buy new brakes

Well its gotten to that point. This is my first bike so i dont know much about parts and replacing what. Im used to cars where all you do is change pads and bleed them good but thats it. Is there anything else i need to get? Also what are some good pads to use? I just street ride and some tricks here and there nothing major

Braking, EBC, Honda, etc. Just replace and install. I use brake cleaner, but you'll prob. want to spray it on a rag, and then apply to the rotor.

I've got the EBC HH on mine and they work very well. I'm due again right now to replace the fronts and I'm just gonna go with the EBC's again cuz I've been very happy

Changing them is a snap, just take the caliper off (two 12mm) spread the pads apart to compress the caliper pistons, take the little pin out and out come the pads. Stick the new ones in, put the pin back in, reinstall caliper. Make sure everything is tight clean everything off real good and you're good to go! Oh yea don't forget to pump the brakes up before taking off, LOL
