Semi sintered brake pads

I've always used organic, has anyone made this switch, if so what can I feel or expect. Dynas have not the best brakes and wanted a little more stopping power

I have used them on both my bikes, 2002 and 2017. I love them. A bit noisy but great stopping.

I put some on once and destroyed my polished rotor. Big gouges in it. And noisey too. Went back to organics.
Could have just been a bad set though as others have had good luck.

Don't have any first hand experience, so don't take this as gospel, but a lot of the stunt riders are switching their Dynas out for bagger brakes. They seem to bolt right up. I don't know what kind of Dyna you have, but swapping the master cylinder and the lower fork leg for duals might be an option.

I've been using those pads for around 10 years, on my 07 Dyna and my Wife's 04 1200 C. BIG IMPROVEMENT in braking and works well with OEM rotors.

I use double sintered pads on all my bikes for years including my 21 trike. It grabs way better that semi sintered and organic pads.

If your brake rotors pulsate while running organics, go to sintered / semi sintered and after a few thousand the pulsations will be gone. Organic create hard spots but are not hard enough to wear them down.

IMO, the only time you should run organics is on the rear with a thicker disk or if running cheap not hardened rotors.
