    Not ceramic but the BRP gen 3 pads are great and quiet.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Do they install these as a fix for squeaky brakes? Or do you have to just pay for a new set and have them installed at the dealership?

    If you tackle an internet search for ceramic brake pads, you could always contact the companies that offer pads for motorcycles and see if they're considering making them for Spyders...
    I did change my rear pads to gen 3s... So easy that even I could do it; forget about the cavemen!

    Default gen 3 pads

    i think someone said, not too long ago, they cost 160.00, i hope this is all 3 wheels. i could buy brakes for my truck three times for that much. if you find an alternative, please let us know.
    it was fun while it lasted.
