You lose a little stopping power, but they last a lot longer. I talked to the owner of swampdog off-road who makes brass pads for a lot cheaper than those. He said they are made for mud and slow riding only.

I will probably just stick with sintered pads. I ride too big of hills and play around driving faster than I should. I don’t need to lose any stopping power...

Now thats interesting! We get about 3 good muddin trips before i gotta change pads on our machines. Thats for the front. We get 10 or 12 trips out of the rears, maybe a little more.

We are mudders and have not found any pads that would last.
I don't have them on Amy's pioneer yet. But I have been running them on my RZR. I honestly can't really tell any difference in stopping power but I'm running portals and 35s also so it's kind a hard to stop anyhow. LOL
To begin with they are a little noisy until they get worn in but not too bad. With regular organic pads I would get one good ride,,,maybe. My last set of super ATV pads lasted 3/4 of a ride before I threw a pad. With the sintered metal pads I would get three maybe four rides. With the brass ones, I cannot tell that they are even worn any yet and we have been on probably five or six rides with them.
I'm not saying they are for everyone, but if you are a mudder, you need them.

Awesome info @Tommyo !

Put brass pads on, no issues in years since. Plenty of stopping power.

P500 - P500 Brake pad replacement with photos

First time stumbling through replacement, open for comments and corrections, especially any good tips. Replaced with aftermarket brass pads. Hoping the ipad pics help for reference and we can edit to make this a Resource (@Hondasxs ?). I will edit based on member input. Thanks in advance...
