Brake pads

[jburrell]

I need to change by brake pads. Now I would like to know what kind I should purchase. I have seem several types advertised. What is remommended? Organic, Kelvar etc. I know on my 33 plymouth I used the metallic dustless pads but I haven't seen anything advertised for the bikes but Organic and kelvar on ebay. The ones I have now seem to be ok as far as dust but I know the back pad only lasted 1 year or about 8k. I use and believe in the friction zone and perhaps that is why the rear wore out so fast but I don't care I like the fricion zone expecially in this Houston traffic.

Any suggestions/links to which pads I should consider?

BTY Just ordered the Stelbel horn and Carbon One bracket to replace my current horn.

thanks

I just put the EBC pads on mine, the original metalic pads were still good, but they started to mess up the rotors and squeel pretty bad.. I kept them for through downs just in case...
