I am looking for suggestions about replacement brake pads. Seems like there are quite a few options.

Organic, sintered metallic, Kevlar, etc. What type and brand seems to work best?

I have just replaced the front pads on my Hayabusa and so installed EBC Double H sintered pads. At $40.00 each- so that's $80 to do the front brakes is not cheap for a a bike. I have the same braking system on the Kawasaki and will use the same pads. Parts came from The Motorcycle Superstore.
Then there are these for $10.00

Funny you should post that link, I was looking at those. They are not as aggressive as metallic pads, and wear faster. They are cheap and don't squeal. Curious about this because quite a few people swear by OEM brakes on motorcycles. NOS pads for a 1300 are very expensive.

Hey, i just put those exact pads on the rear of my B2. So far they work great.Even though my disc is somewhat grooved, they still grip very well. Cant beat the price.
