Where are you guys buying brake pads?  $33 shipped for EBC rear pads on eBay.  Bike Bandit listing for rears is no longer.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks.  I shot him a message as I didn't see 215s listed.  

Even cheaper for EBC.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Front-br ... 56462b407b (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Front-brake-Pad-Triumph-Speed-Triple-Daytona-Sprint-EBC-/370544427131?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56462b407b)

What is the difference between the 215 and 214s?  

I bought a set that were suppose to be rears, but they sent me FA 196 (these are for later Tigers I think).  The 215s went on easy peasy.

214 and 215 are left and right for front

technically the 215 for the rear is a 215/2 it has a little thinner brake lining

you can use a plain 215 on the rear easy enuff also

Yeah I was a little confused when I got the 215s.  Since I got the wrong pads for the rear, I tossed the 215s on the back and then wondered why I didn't get more sets of them.  haha
