Default sporty rear brake pads?
Looking for rear pads on my '08 sporty 1200 low. My EBC's only lasted about 3400 miles! I think they were organic.
Which ones get longer wear for around $30.00? Organic? Sintered? Brand? Made in USA. tHANKS!

If they lasted only 3400 miles , you either are "riding" the brake ,
or the caliper is sticking on ..
