Which ones?
I have used the HH pads and organic (whatever they are) pads. Worked fine. Just get the ones to match the compound you need.

I've used the HH pads on my previous V7II.  They worked well.

HH-pads and braided lines on both ends = real brakes :thumb:

How are the HH pads with respect to wear on the rotors? I haven't bought brake pads in a long time so my knowledge may be out of date. I used to run organic pads because they were easier on rotor wear. I understand that organic pads don't last as long as sintered pads? I am not a "performance " rider and am pretty easy on my bikes brakes.

Yup , I’m +1 on the HH pads ,after a few thousand miles they seem to require a bit more squeez . But a quick removal & clean & reinstall & I’m back to 2 1/2 finger stopping!

I wouldn't use HH pads on iron rotors due to wear, but on the modern stainless rotors, sure. How long would you want the rotors to last?

I put them on the '98 EV and they work great right out of the box.

Cheese.  Get you some pads made from cheese.  :tongue:

Closer to forever than the HH would be GG.

I've used HH pads on every bike I've owned since 2002. Excellent pads, good feel, decent wear, and the rotor buttons gave out before the rotor metal. Total miles with EBC HH pads = 220,000 plus on adventure bikes, sport touring bikes, and streetfighters.

I would ask whether your Monster has ABS - my Griso doesn't, and the EBC pads are almost too fast at gripping on that bike.

Very good ... I have replaced the OEM front brembo brake pads on my Griso 8V with EBC brake pads FA244HH (sintered metal).
Brake perfomance is better.

It does. I've inadvertently activated both the front and rear grabbing too much too fast.
