EBC Kevlars have served me well for over 60k miles. They are 19 bucks a pair from Jireh Cycles. They are quiet and easy on polished rotors.

Lyndall pads. If you want the best pads and want to stop the soonest. They are not the cheapest, only the best. I give a discount to HD Forums members and free (not to me) 2 day priority shipping the same day I get the order. As you can see, I support this site. You can contact me through the web site listed below under Contact Us [HERE] either by e-mail or toll free, every day. I answer my phone all waking hours unles I am riding my bike for any and all issues.

That's not on one set. However, I do get 30+k miles out of them on the front.
