Default Better Brake Pads 2012 Street Glide?

I need to replace my brake pads. What are some better performing pads that I can use with the stock rotors on my 2012 Street Glide?

I know you will several opinions however I have been using Hawk pads in my bikes and race cars for few years. They are hard to beat. Long life, low dust, good stopping performance and not a bad price.

You wont find a better performing pad than the stock Brembo pads. I've tried.

I had those same pads on my Ultra. Got the same chirping/cricket type noise. The pads stopped fine but I just couldn't take the noise any longer. Replaced with the Lyndall Gold pads. No more chirping crickets.
