I wanted organic pads for minimal wear on the rotors on my 81 Gold Wing. Enough stopping power for my driving style, 80mph (sometimes with a passenger) on the Autobahn. I got the original EBC pads delivered on time as advertised. I have used these pads several times in the past and they are smooth, quiet and efficient. You can use all the braking power if you let the brakes cool down between stops. I use this bike for basic transportation, including lots of freeway miles, but it's not a race car. I can still skid tires after a quick 80+ mph stop; After that I smell brakes, but what else do I need from this car? Road riding again, no racing; The pads are of good quality, but they are organic, not ceramic or metal. You can buy more aggressive pads, but they're not needed for regular street riding (especially in the rear), eat up your rotors faster, and rotors are expensive.
