Brake pads.

Post by SteveD »

Organic?
Sintered?
Non-sintered?
Brand and part numbers?
Front v rear different choices?

What d'y'all prefer on your airhead?

Organic are really easy on your discs, but I'm happy to give that up for the better braking of the HH pads.

I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

Well now that my discs are scored from sintered pads I'm sorry I didn't run organic pads. Organic pads wear out faster too. That means you will do more frequent service on calipers.
