Default Hawk Brake Pads

Anyone have any experience with Hawk Performance Brake Pads?

http://www.hawkperformance.com/motorcycle/

Their Sintered Metallic Pads look to be comparible to the Lyndall's Gold + BUT the Hawks are $19.87 a set compared to $59 for the Lyndall's (on Lyndall's site).

$19.87 price is from buybrakes.com.

I have always used Lyndall's in the past but I may give the Hawks a try this time around.

Any thoughts.....

You get what you pay for! I would rather stop that not stop! Lyndall pads are a Dupont Carbon/Kevlar Organic Compound not sindered like the stock HD pads or Hawk I would rather pay a little more for the Lyndall pad and be able to stop when I need too.
Do what you think is best but I'm sticking with my Lyndall's.
