Title: Padsets
Post by: Drawn on October 23, 2016, 09:52 AM

G'day all.

Just wondering if you guys may be able to help out with some info on where to look or who to contact in regards to Padsets.
Have done a bit of research and came across the fella on here by the name of "Firebird", but beyond that couldn't find any way of contacting him (and the threads with him mentioned are for along time ago)

Basically I am wanting to do a set of Curtis Pads (or 2) in the same style as found on many of the 80s bikes, but it is for the new school race bike.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hiya buddy, Firebird aka Stephen Dobson very rarely comes on here these days, you'll have more luck contacting him via his FB group Esemdesign.

Had several sets of pads done by him over the years and they are first class.  :4_17_5:
