UFO pads

[Kevin Kirwin]

Ha!  I agree with the sensors, useless and a waste of money.  However, I'm
not interested in cutting wires to fool the AutoCheck into thinking the pads
are good.  I've noticed my brakes start to fade lately.  Squeeking is the
norm when I'm slowing to a stop and finally the brakepad wear sensor sets
off the alarm in the AutoCheck... thank you captain obvious!

My rotors are good and just want to do the pads.  I will consider
eliminating the sensors if it can be easily undone.  I plan on riding out
the new pads and then doing a G-60 swap.  With the amount of traffic I
encounter it just makes more sense to do the swap.  Even though it is a
slight downgrade the G-60's will make it easier for me to maintain also
gives me many options to upgrade.

thanks
