    Was this on the front pads of a dropped and stretched 'Busa?

    You can tell some idiot painted them, because the pad material is painted, throw in trash.

    Lol I’m into stretched boosas now lol. Actually, since we PCSd back to SA I haven’t made it back over to the shop. Now that we are on summer break I’ll cruise on over.

    Those are made of 100% unobfuckingtanium and should be sold as such on ebay. You'll have no problems selling them as the yo yos' will be beating down your door to buy them. You may however get an aneurysm responding to emails/texts from said morons... er I mean ryders, and should probably just throw them in the trash like gixerboy55 said.

    Can’t be off a lowered busa. They aren’t spray painted red or yellow.

    Nope, they were actually installed by some shop here in town. They bought them this way. Must be some Amazon pads or something.
    They also installed the rear pads improperly and she rode it and bent the pad and somehow the caliper holder. I just put a new one on and they work now.

    Anyway, I was just trying to find out the brand name out of curiousity.

    I have some gold pads in my RPM caliper on my rm85 minimoto. I got them from 73motoparts.com. Unsure of brand but they work good.

    The gold just screams "badass machine".
    Did Lethal Rog perhaps drop that bike off?

    Any bike capable of going 205 mph has to have the finest brakes available.

    Lyndall Gold+ brake pads? It’s not unheard of for all but the friction surface to be painted along with the backing plate. EBC’s X-compound brake pads also have the walls of the friction compound painted red like the backing plates.

    Yeah it's special paint, very thin.

    The gold shit,probably some idiot reseller sprayed on,is way too thick, probably oem pads, so throw away and get some good pads, and don't paint them.

    Can't tell if they're actually painted. If not, they might be GoldFren pads. Fren is short for frenos which is brakes in spanish. They're lower-end Euro pads like EBC: http://www.goldfrenusa.com/brake-pads.htm
