Goldwing brake pads recommendations?

Hi guys. In lieu of an oil or tire thread, 😉 I thought I’d ask those of you who have a Goldwing (01-17) which brake pads you prefer and why? I know I can’t go wrong with OEM, but they’re pricey. Any recommendations? I have a 2008 GL1800 with just over 50,000 miles on it. I need to change them soon.

Thanks

There's Vesrah racing pads on the trike. Those were installed by the previous owner and he was happy enough to tell me to buy those when it was ready for new ones.
 
I've got no experience with Goldwings or Hondas, but I've always been happy with EBC pads on my Kawasakis. I usually run HH sintered pads on the front, and semi-sintered or organic on the rear (all my bikes are non-ABS, so I like a bit less bite on the rear).
 
Ron, I'll basically parrot what Seth said...I've had great experiences with EBC pads, I imagine they'll perform well on the Wing also.
