Anybody ever use carbon fiber brake pads?

[John Schmidt]

While I have the bags & mounts off I want to replace the rear pads and probably rebuild the caliper with new piston seals and boots. I can get a set of OEM for $41+tax from Suncoast Cycle in Odessa, but I've also run across a set of front and rear for much less but are carbon fiber. Being the tightwad I am, I'd like to save a few $$ but not at the expense of poor performance. The OEM type have always been good but the price difference is what caught my eye. I have two sets of new front pads but have no use for them, having already rebuilt the calipers a few months back and they don't work in the rear.
