Just done the same, they seem ok for now but not sure if they will last the duration or not.
I got a spare clutch cable also as mine seems to be getting a bit loose these days even after adjustment.

What about tools, I thought the back wheel has to come off to do the rear pads?



Nope, I dont recall that. However,

We have the technology, we can rebuild it (at the roadside)


You've got a centrestand if we need to take the rear off haven't you?

£80 lighter, 1.5hrs labour + timeserts (http://www.timesert.com/)
could have done without the extra expenditure but it was cheaper than a replacement wheel...

Front pads are ok for now, the rear, don't think I would have got approx 2500-3000 mile out of them!
