I see that brand "Sixity" pop up on other forums as being the "Ebay special" but anyone that's gotten then said they were OEM spec and loved them.
I see they have a sale on ebay right now and have a full set of front and rear ceramic pads for 21$
And a full Sintered set for 41$ thats usually in the 70s
Also organic pads for 17
Now before you say it i usually don't give the ebay special brakes any credit but my Google search has guys from kawasaki forums and HD forums etc back to 2010 saying the brakes worked great for them and lasted thousands of miles. Sixity website also looks legit, they have a warranty, and they've been around for a decade or 2

SO brand aside, has anyone used Ceramic pads on our CBs and liked them?
I already changed rotors once so I'm drawn to the ceramics being less wear on rotors long term.
I have no complaints on the OEM pads stopping power but I'm not sure if our OEM pads are organic or sintered?

I think I am going to switch to ceramic too. The last owner of my bike wrecked the rotors, probably from heat. The bike grew up in Arizona. After all kinds of sanding and new break pads, nothing improved. So, I put on a new set of Front Honda rotors and everything is good now. I think some people ride their breaks too much instead of downshifting. I put ceramic pads on my car and they are great. I did notice they have to warm up a bit before they work perfectly so I usually depress the brake pedal for a few feet to warm them up.
