    Vesrah Kevlar Brake Pads vs. EBC Organic

    Cycle Recycle 2 is closed today so I can't call and get the opinion of their shop, but I'm looking at replacing my front brake pads of unknown age. The brakes on the front suck, plain and simple, so I've upgraded to S/S brake lines and I'm looking to put the best pad on I can.

    CRC2 has Vesrah Kevlar Pads for ~25 (Kevlar is made from organic material) http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/suzuki_pads.htm

    Bikebandit has EBC replacement organic pads for about $27. I've heard good things about them in general. http://www.bikebandit.com/partsbandi...id~1040941.asp

    Someone mentioned the original Suzuki pads might be the best compound to use, but the pad set is $88 on their website, so that's a bit out of my price range. :x

    Your thoughts are appreciated...

    I use EBC pads and they stop OK for me but I am not a "performance oriented" rider that works a bike hard. They say the kevlars are better in the rain but I would not know. OEM was bronze sintered pads and from what I understand if you go to ceramic it is not good for the OEM rotors.

    The EBC pads should be OK.

      I had EBC pads in my 1150 and was extremely disapointed in there performance, I replaced them with Vesrah and love them, I now have feel and power.

        Dink, which Vesrah type did you go with? Organic or semi-metallic?

          I talked with CRC2 today and the pads they have in Kevlar form are street application. He said they are equivillant to the sintered-metal type pads but they have less fade when they're hot.

          I guess I'll be trying them out.

            I've been using the CRC2 Vesrah pads for years now. I've been pleased with them. No fade in the rain whatsoever. Not planning on using anything else.

              Standard, here is the reason why ALL Vesrah pads contain Kevlar, and you dont have to pay a ridiculous markup cause it aint on the box.
              I put two months into research before purchasing Vesrah pads and I can now make my 1150 dance on its nose any time I want.
