We at Pirates Lair want only the best for our customers and Carbone Lorraine Brake Pads (as you've probably heard) are second to none around the world. After reading all the reviews then testing the CL pads on my own BMW K1200S for months.. I deem them worthy of our product line and our quasi-esteemed customers. Whether you are riding the Iron Butt Rally, road racing, or cruising your favorite road, the brake system is the most important part of your motorcycle. Why not use top quality braking components? It's a no-brainer. CL Brake pads, which are imported from France, are "high performance sintered metal" pads offering an ideal combination of value, durability and performance. They have the German TUV approval! CL Brake pads ... the choice of European champions.

Pirates Lair offers two compounds for front brakes.. The A3+, which is equivalent to oem pads (although measurably better) or the XBK5 performance compound as the ultimate brake pad for street riders. That's what I use. The XBK5 compound may or may not be available for every application. Either compound pad guarantees excellent performance in either wet or dry conditions. To keep things simple, we offer one choice for rear pads.. the RX3, which is better than oem.. Pads ordered may or may not look like pads pictured at right.

Just so we're all on the same page, when you place your order, I will need the following info: Model, year, make of bike. Upon receipt of your order, I will forward the info you provide to our supplier who will drop-ship directly to you, by-passing me.

If you have another bike (not listed below) that you need brake pads for.. let me know and I'll look them up and quote you prices. Just email me what bike and year and I'll get back with you ASAP. CL Brake Pads are available as OEM replacement for virtually all popular motorcycles. If you need brake pads for racing or track days ..those are also available.

Note: Some bikes, like the BMW K1200GT, have wires in their oem brake pads which illuminate an indicator light in the instrument cluster when pads are worn. CL pads do not have that wire on the pads . Meaning.. you have to actually bend down and inspect them now and then like our forefathers. Old school. Saavy?
