What kind of brake pad types are good? There are Kevlar, ceramic, organic, etc and I didn't know what experiences some of you may have had with them. Any to avoid? Thanks.

brake pads

i have used sintered HH on all my bikes (if available) they stop the best and are low dust

I always OEM pads, I used EBC after market ones once and they hummed all the time the brakes were applied. I'll stick with Honda pads

I have a complete set of Honda OEM's on the shelf waiting for someone like myself to get off his duff and put them on. I would suspect that they are metallic. I about shat when they rung them up at the register: +/- 175.00 ! What the heck are " organic " pads I've seen sold ? I'll assume it's not related to the " go green " movement.

Pads

I have a 4 sets of Honda pads for a GL1500 that I'll be looking to get rid of. If they fit your bike shoot me a message. It's a bit of a long story why I have them, but I ride a GL1200.

My two cents: Also have set of slightly used Honda OEM pads; don't need/ won't use. Have heavy sidecar rig['95 GL1500/ CSC FSIII...10 yrs.]. Had NO stopping power and when I almost went through an intersection, possibly had serious collision, switched to EBC type HH pads and WOW: stopping power BACK again! Will NEVER go back to OEMs, as long as my rig keeps runnin'. TTFN....Old Tom aka papasmurf in NH

sintered HH all the way! stop way better than stock & are low brake dust (wheels stay cleaner longer)
