Not sure if everyone is using them or not.
I am, and so far they're pretty damned good.

Only pads I run anymore.

And I have been through a few sets of a few brands.

I have gone through a few sets and love them. Way better than stock and way better than the Lyndall Golds.

Best pad I've tried.

I have them and I am very happy

stock had a little to much initial bite for me, made it hard to lightly modulate the brakes.

lyndall golds were poop for me, it felt like wood on either side of my rotor. I could not hunker my bike down in a panic stop one day when I was cut off, no matter how hard I grabbed the lever the bike just wouldn't slow down fast enough.

the HH have a decent bite and good modulation without being overly aggressive like the stock but not also provide significantly more braking force than the lyndall pads.

My inline 4 friends are singing the praises of Vesrah brakes. So that's another option, too.

Impressed by both DP and EBC. Concur that Lyndall's are poop and put a lot of wear on the rotor as well.
