EBC HH, SBS HH, or the Kawasaki HH ones if you are loaded.
Here the EBCs are 37UKP per caliper, SBS are 33UKP per caliper and Kawasaki are 62UKP per caliper.

I currently have SBS HH on my 08 pushing on Arashi rotors and I can trigger the ABS at will, so I ain't getting any more braking force out of the front.
By that time the rear wheel is off the ground anyway, even with my fat ass on it.  :rotflmao:

I bought stock ones.  They seem to work fine and are not overpriced.

I know ya'll are gonna laugh at me, but...

I bought a set of these so that I would have a spare set, and/or a set to give someone in an emergency.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/231367061728?fits=Model%3AConcours+14%7CMake%3AKawasaki&hash=item35de8d30e0:g:mkcAAOSwF1dUR-An

Before a Track Day, I realized my brakes were pretty worn so I installed them.
 {Took the OEM's in case they did badly}.
After the Track day, I never took them off, and they did well.
Even had others ride my bike to compare my brakes with their's.
None could tell a difference..

Ride safe, Ted

Certainly much less than I paid for OEM- $152.  EBC were available for $60.  So maybe my earlier comment about the OEM not being overpriced was a bit... wrong.  Anyway, it didn't seem unreasonable to me at the time, since I got over 7 years from the first set (and they weren't even completely worn out when I replaced them).

I admit that I didn't get a lot of miles out of these.
,,,,But, I trailer to events. So "all" my miles are at events. {ie; Ridin' Twisties}
I was concerned with that, so I measured the thickness vs the OEM's that I used originally.
Both had the same amount of wear.
(&&, at that price, I can afford to change pads more often anyway}

Ride safe, Ted

PS: I'll be at the COG National next week.
If anyone wants to compare them, I'd like to do that.
Maybe I'm wrong about their feel.    :loco:
Nahhhh...   :rotflmao:
