front & back

I see the wiki recommends the FA231HH for front and GG for the back, but I can't seem to find ratings on these, and I'm not too familiar with "carbon kevlar organic" pads. They are well priced, but are they any good? If not what would you recommend?

Not sure about the Kevlar pads but general rule of thumb you get what you pay for I know eBay has a huge rage splurge and get good ones they will last a lot longer

weedahoe posted about a sale at that place so maybe he knows something about them.  Not familiar with them myself but that is same kind of material the EBC organic pads are made from.

I've got EBC in the wiki-recommended grades on the font and back and the bike stops great. Only have a couple thousand miles on them so no clue yet as to their longevity. My two pennies.
Fix it until it's broke.

Tbh not sure about those pads but as has been said a good upgrade is HH pads on the front and stick with standard pads on the rear.
Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

These are the pads I bought and used on my GS. They worked great and I never had any issues from there

They are the FA231 FA63 "HH" pads
