Default Brake Pad Advice

Wondering what a good choice would be for brake pads on my '06 Train. The ones on the bike are getting low. So what type is a good one? Organic, Sinterad, Ceramic? What kind are stock? And would these ebay ones do the trick? Not concerned about them lasting years as they are cheap and easy to change just want ones that have safe strong braking power.

Lotsa folks swear by the lyndall brake pad, and alot of those very same prefer the soft pad over a semi metallic to save the rotors

I've tried many different pads over the years and found that the differences are marginal. These days I simply replace with Harley pads.

I use EBC HH pads. Xlnt stopping and greatly reduced brake dust over cheap pads.
