I found a good set on ebay that were sintered pads (EBC I believe), very little dust compared to oem and not so sintered that they tear up my rotors up. Oh, and a fraction of what stock pads go for (imagine that!).

Us he search option on the top right!!! This is about the fifteenth of these threads I've seen. A tip for you, click search, then advanced search, then put Brake Pads in the search KEYWORDS part, then do the drop box to titles only. You will read for an hour or two all the results you get. Good luck.

I've ran Lyndall Gold on all my bikes. Expensive but worth it.

I use the same on my 2012 Ultra limited. Over 20k on rear and 10k on fronts with no issues.

First I will say that there's nothing really wrong with the OEM brake pad. However, when I changed pads on my 2010, I first went with the Lyndall ZPlus, but found they were not acceptable in rain and wet weather, ineffective stopping. Switched to the Lyndall Gold and they work well in wet conditions. The Lyndalls are better than OEM as far as dust goes. But there are few pads out there that are dust free.

Ebc HH stops great for my old 99, no dust that I can see. Thinking of ceramic for the back.
