As others have stated Lyndal and EBC are pretty well represented on this forum. Call your local indy and ask.

Also, google it

I have heard good things about Lyndals Gold pads but the commenters also said you do not get anywhere near the life out of them. Can anybody comment on that for Lyndal or EBC.
I really don't have a problem stopping with my stock brakes but I am sure I could change that opinion if I get a different brand.
I have changed all of my auto brakes to ceramic and they are great. Minimal dust and stop good too. Has anybody used ceramic pads on their bikes? Been looking at the prices and they are about the same as EBC midgrade pad that is half the price of Lyndal Gold that can go a buck eighty all around.
