if you are after Harrison billet brakes , they are only made by the for themselves. either get to know a bike shop that can get the trade :D or possibly take the to an ebc stockist who might be able to match up one of your pads fro the catalogue

problem with non standard kit is we had a performance 6 pot set up on a gsxr1100, when we had to get new discs for the mot we found the new ones would not go between the pads, someone must have ground the discs to suit even pushing pads right in wouldn't work, we had to get the original parts, if you take the out trace round the pair and ark on some dimensions I might be able to cross check ebc and ferodo records

If you buy original Storm calipers get Jonesey on here to have a look, he re-does them as good as they came out of the factory. Might be better served with CBR6004i calipers though if you can machine them & lowers to fit. AMCQ46 has loads of advice on Master Cylinders to fit. Mine is standard all round with braided hoses but if I had the money I would upgrade to later CBR stuff.
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Cheers for that mate bikes only done 14k think discs are original levered pads back looks to me could take new pads just trying to find a surpplier :?: .
Also was just wondering if the billet 6 pot was a common upgrade on the storm :?: .
Mot in april blokes a real Honda nut so perhaps pick his brains then, pads have still got some life left in them yet.
may just pop one out and look round local dealers see if they can match as well.
