I would like to replace my brake pads. I would like replace them with ones that have little or no brake pad dust.

Thanks

You can get the organic variety from any of the manufacturers, EBC being one.

I've been very happy everytime I use SBS pads. I use the SBS sintered-ceramic StreetExcel 778HS (2sets) on the front, and the
not-as-grabby 742LS on the rear. Put them on ~15000mi ago and they will stop you....
No dust, squeaking or any unsightly stuff like that.....

Bought them from here in '06....

I've run EBC Kevlar pads on my R. Non metallic so they're a tad easier on your rotors but won't last quite as long.

I used the EBCs on the rear and went back to sintered. Too much dirt/dust and they only lasted 6k miles. I don't ride the rear either.
However, that said, they did stop a bit better IF I just used the rear, which is not too ofetn

The dealership replaced my rear pads with Dunlop pads and now 6,000 miles later I noticed that they are quite abit worn down. I happen to have a pair of EBC FA363HH in the garage that I bough a year ago off this site. Not sure if they are sintered but the rating of HH states that it is High Friction braking power. I do seem to use my rear more than my front but it is an ABS bike.

I've noticed after a few sets of aftermarket pads, that they are less expensive but don't last as long as the OEM ones. That being said - I've only used aftermarket. I'm on my second set of aftermarket pads on the rear and still the original on the front - 68,000 miles. I used a micrometer a few weeks ago to check the rotors and they will need to be replaced on the next pad replacement.
