Default Brake Pad Replacement

Time to replace the brakes on the King! Have any of you guys or gals ever used or heard of these brake pads made by KMG and sold by Psycho-Moto. Only $29.95 Front and Rear.

I haven't. I just replaced my '08 EGC with the EBC brake pads front and rear. I got them from Amazon for $29.95 for each caliper. I'm very impressed with them so far.

Another one for EBC! I've used Lyndall for years. Not bad pads and not a lot of dust. Cheaper pads could mean more dust.

I'm all for using a known product, especially on brakes. EBC makes good stuff

I got some $19 shipped ones off eBay an they work well. I was keeping costs down while doing the enforcer conversion on my 05, I haven't used them enough to know if they leave a lot of brake dust or not. I may upgrade later but they work fine. They are black in the listing but when they came they are gold like the ebc's

I'm ready to change my pads again.. had Lyndall gold plus.. i found I had to press brakes harder compared to stock.. thinking of EBC's.... how are they on dust and what suggestions for FLHX.... have a 107 build so looking for good stoping power... ride safe..

I have the EBC pads from Amazon. Good stopping power but they sound like crickets when I apply the brakes. Apparently that is "common". I will probably switch them out.

I tried drag specialties pads, could not get them to stop squealing. Went back to EBC and very happy with them.

Another vote for EBC pads. If you decided to give KMG a try, please post a review.
