Default which pads are best??

Hiya Kats, I have a 2005 Electraglide standard with 31,000 miles. I am going to replace the tires and I figured that I would take the front wheel off myself and take it to the dealer for a new tire. I figured that while I have the front wheel off I would change the front brake pads. I have seen adds for DP sintered pads which are supposed to not squeal and not make brake dust. Any opinions? My brakes squeal now but not all the time. What kind of pads do you recommend?

Harley pads have worked great for me. I hear Lyndalls are very good also.

I have 1500 miles on these and they are great. Very little dust / no squeal / no chatter / stop good /price is right for whole bike set.

I've been using EBC sintered pads on my '05 Roadie, they have better bite than the originals and last a long time.
