Front Brembo brake pad recommendations on a '08 1200 Sport?

Planning on replacing front brake pads in the Brembo calipers soon. Any recommendations? Saw a video where the guy uses a Copper stick and rubs it on the back of the pads to reduce squeeling. Has anyone done that? I've never had squeeling issues.

If you never had a squealing issues I would not worry or bother.

I prefer the organic pads by Brembo...less hard on your rotors. Others folks may have other preferences but I use organic Brembo's on all 3 of my Guzzi's

I'm in agreement with Flower King for the reason he stated. However, if you prefer maximum braking, then EBC HH pads will be what you would want.

EBC HH pads.  They’re great.

Thanks for the feedback. I just checked all four pads and they have plenty of materials left on them. Amazing after 34,000 miles with them and no squeeling or pulsing. And I use the front brakes more than the back! I think I'll let sleeping dogs lie!

I also recommend organic pads for excellent modulation and excellent power short of racing requirements. I use:

Ferodo Platinum Front Brake Pads 2042P (FDB2042P),

available from af1racing.com for $35. Easier on the discs, longer lasting, and easier on the wallet than sintered. Less costly than the Brembo option at mgcycle but at least as good as far as I can tell.

EDIT. Oops, too late for the OP.
