what break pads do you recommend?

[justice720]

I'm in need of rear pads.. I was just wondering what you guys recommend for a replacement? I'm also interested in a front caliper for an 03 buell xb9r....

depends on your style of riding.

race style = more breaking power = more wear on the rotor.
lots of braking = more heat => ceramic pads
etc etc

standard street use.. no racing really.. I like using my rear break to slow down.. then apply the front for the complete stop.

original are more than good enough.
look around for sintered pads.
