What brake pad?

Whats the best hard road use pad to use I find the standard ones give a lot of fade. I don't want something that needs time to heat up either suggestions anyone?

You definitely dont want the sintered, Galfer or EBC organic compounds work great for streetbike you push to the limits. They will put the stock pads to shame but they dont require much to heat up.

Check them out: http://www.stdreams.com/catalog/brak...c-304_316.html

I run a race pad but that is in the track bike. However I think the HH would server you well. Best thing is to have ss brake lines, if you don't have them get them.
