Who's using what from where for front brake pads.  I remember reading somewhere that the EBC pads tear up the rotors, but I may be remembering wrong too, and since its time to replace the worn EBC's on my bike I'm looking for suggestions.

If our concerned with rotor wear just stick with an organic "FF" brake pad.
Dusty and more dirt but wont hurt the rotors much.

Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous.
It is however, extremely unforgiving of: inattention, ignorance, incompetence or stupidity.

Honda is good! However, I've used EBC organic pads too without problems.

Honda OEM bads for me and no complaints.  I did add Galfer brake and clutch lines that were an improvement over the older OEM lines I had.  cooldude

I always use organic from cycle gear. Less stopping power but easier on the rotors and last longer than standard.  I was at deals gap all day and had no problems stopping at high speeds

I'll respond only because you're from Indiana.

I really like these, with a great price (and the link will probably be dead within a week).

I have used these pads for 10,000 miles with no problems and good braking response.
