Default Brake Pads

I've gotta replace the front and rear pads on my '06 Nightrain. I'm looking
for suggestions from everyone on what they are using, and maybe what to stay away from, i.e. sqealing, excessive brake dust, etc. I came across EBC and a few others with mixed reviews. Should I stay OEM?

Lyndalls here too Racing type way quieter than stock pads and excellent for polished rotors.

I just put on the EBC pads, and after about two tanks of fuel, they've broken in nice and don't squeak at all. They were much cheaper then the Harley ones and they stop the bike. Good deal in my opinion...

I've never replaced any but from what I've read some people who've tried different pads said that stock ones are as good or better than others. Personally I don't have enough miles on the road to say from experience but I've never had a problem with stock pads on either of my bikes, also the stock pads create very little brake dust in my experience.

EBC had a few options, which ones did you go with? The organic ones
were $29
