EBC from Amazon. Inexpensive, last a long time and reliable.

Be warned those generate a ton of brake dust. They stopped well but the mess they made wasn't worth the price; ebc are cheaper, stop just as well and do not generate nearly as much dust.
Love Beemerboneyard just not those pads.

brake pads
+1 on Beemer bone yard.
NOT SO on the EBC. Had to replace my rear rotor on my ST1300 after on road replacement using EBC brake pads. I was on the other coast, they only had the EBC pads. Braking was all right, just ate the rotor up. I can show U a picture if U like, Still have rotor. OEM's on the Honda.
Bone Yard pads really work very well both wet & dry. As far as the dust? just spray some wheel cleaner on the rims wash/hose off, good to goooooo.

Yea Amazon doesn't have it correct, when I ordered I went off the EBC catalog https://ebcbrakes.com/Assets/ecatalogues/EBC_2017_US_MC_Catalog/EBC_2017_US_MC_Catalog.html

I've only had to replace the rear, you'll find they wear way faster then the front. I was surprised how fast they wore.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but I believe OE (BMW) brake pads are different materials front and rear.
Clearly the brake proportioning between front and rear associated with use of linked brakes (front and rear both activated by hand lever) is calculated based on OE materials.
Be interesting to know whether any aftermarket suppliers take any of this into account.

Not so sure about different materials, I believe that's what the proportioning valve does, handles the differences between the front and rear brakes.

I put a set of Carbone Lorraine rears on my 2016 RT back in the Spring ... no noticeable change in break feel and dust doesn't seem to be any worse than whatever BMW put on it originally.
