I've replaced the front pads (twice) with EBC sintered pads, as the stock pads had issues.
Now it's time to replace the rear pads. I've been happy enough with the stock rear pads, but thinking about changing to EBC.
I'm wondering about opinions on stock vs. EBC rear pads.

I put EBCs in the rear caliper about 25k miles ago. No complaints.

+1 for EBC. I put some inexpensive Ferodo pads on the rear of my Uly a few years ago and they absolutely ate the rear rotor in a relatively short time.

FWIW I run Lyndalls in rear and EBC in front. Lyndall pads seem to give the rear a tad more stopping power. 2006 Uly , -50,000 miles.

I find that it helps to reduce pitching under heavy on-road braking and can be used to reduce wheelspin off-pavement.

My motorcycle accelerates when I press the rear brake.

I used Volar pads bought off ebay from D2 Moto.
Also used Volar pads in the front too.
Both ends worked well, for me...

I went ahead and ordered EBC pads from a small local shop today.
I had meant to check on Lyndall pads while I was there, but just skipped it after they had a hard time looking up the EBC.
That was a great price on the Volar pads, but it appears they are now unavailable.
Thanks for the input.
