Wow, this is scary... I just talked to the EBC rep here in the states today. I called him last week to find out what pads to use. All they have listed are front pads, but I took my rear pads off and traced them on a paper, then faxed them to him so he could find a part number for them. Until then, here is the recommended part for the front: GFA249HH. These are a high-carbon race compound, which he said will work real nice on the MV, plus should get a lot of miles out of it. He told me these were the same pads Nicky Hayden uses. When I get the part number for the rear pads, I'll post it here.

Oh, one other thing. If you're located in the US, you can order them from one of these dealers:

Marietta Motorsports Marietta, Georgia 1-888-327-8527

Street & Competition New York 1-800-326-5487

if in the UK, just call up M&P and order from them - that's all I did, though it took a couple of weeks as they didn't hold those in stock.
