I am in the market for the front brake pads of my XB9R 03. In fleebay they are selling three different types: Sintered, organic and ceramic. I have no idea of which one is the best for me, I just want a set of reliable, no noise, no disk eaters pads. Any advice or experience that you might want to share? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-Buell-Firebolt -XB9R-XB9-R-XB-9R-Pads-Brakes-F-R-_W0QQcmdZViewIte mQQhashZitem2561cf5d1eQQitemZ160554769694QQptZMoto rcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories |

I use EBC HH Sintered pads. IMO, organic pads are not too good for Buells as they leave deposits on the rotor which causes a "pulsing" issue in the front brake system. I wouldn't go with an off brand sintered pad. I've never heard of the Sixity brand or heard of anyone on here talking about them. |

I've run the Sixity sintered pads on the front for a couple years now. I don't ride very hard, and they work fine for my everyday needs. I have no idea if they would stand up to high heat or racetrack use, but for commuting they seem to be fine. |
