I have a set of the Drag Speacialties KEVLAR-ORGANIC pads on the front. They seem to be working just fine so far. I only have a few hundred miles on them, however.

SBS Carbon Tech pads worked with my PM calipers on a custom I had
several years ago. SBS makes two different pads for PM, so make
sure they're shaped the same as your old ones.

Lyndall Z-Plus pads. They made a significant difference in braking when I put them on.

Cheers!

Lyndall, i have spoked rims and they all but eliminate the brake dust cleaning probs. I dont notice any difference in stopping but there is a definite differenc in cleaning time and skinned knuckles. I get them from Direct parts outlet here in Tucson, as well as some of my fluids.

Don't care, as long as it stops!

Yep, ones that stop really good [8D]

Edit, stock pads

Stock pads are great for wearing out your rotor. I put EBC Kevlars on the the front of my bike when I polished my rotors and the front and rear of a couple of friends bikes. I had several slightly worn sets of OEM pads. I decided to run them on the rear of my bike. At 42k, my rotor was worn to minimum thickness and needed replaced.
