I'm preparing to do a major service on my new (old) VFR before anymore long rides. It needs some new brake pads front and rear, a chain and sprocket set, and a set of tires wouldn't hurt a bit. I'm picky about quality and prefer to use factory parts for all the usual maintenance, but I realize the aftermarket is probably the way to go for these items.
I'm curious what brands of parts you all have had good luck with and if there are any I should avoid. This is a sport-touring bike so I'm looking to get some life out of the parts, not just pure performance. Thanks! -Paul
