What brand pad do you guys use? 84 200ES is the bike, which is the same pads that most of the hard tails take. OEM Honda will be only a couple bucks per set over the Ebay pads.(after shipping) I do get in the mud a lot, and I do notice a difference in the stopping power in the wet. It seems like the Honda pads, after they get a few years old, crumble apart when they get wet. I would imagine that all of them do after years of use. What do you guys think?

Is there an aftermarket preference?

I sell them all. If they're gonna get wet,like everything else on our machines,,,they're NOT going to last NEAR as long as a well taken care of machine. That said,I sell EBC,Wide open,Emgo,and have accesss to prolly 10 other brands. Wide opens have water grooves cut in them,,but to answer your ? I would go OE,there is nothing wrong w aftermarkets,but when Oe is almost the same,I would go get them from Honda!
