Front brake pads

[Truckedup]

 96 Monster 900 with with front brakes that squeal at low speeds. Stock rotors and they run true with no vibration or pulsing when applied....They are also grabby at low speeds....They were labeled as "organic" pads..
  What front brake pads do you recommend ?  thanks

Pad feel is subjective.

I like Dunlop Pads, DP, which are sintered. Oddly enough I use the race pad on my street bike, and the sport pad on my track bike. The race pad has very aggressive initial bite.

  I might prefer a less aggressive initial bite...Something more progressive

I like Ferodo Platinums for nice progressive feel, and they're not hard on the rotors.

When was the last time you cleaned the calipers?

   I had the front end apart a few months ago to do springs, seals and new wheel bearings. Changed the brake fluid...I cleaned up the calipers with mild solvent on a rag and the rotors cleaned with lacquer thinner ..The bike had pulsating front brakes.. I replaced the rotors with another used set and that fixed it...The brakes stop nicely just a bit grabby initially...And the damn squeal when riding slowly and apply the front brake

My preference, like ducpainter, is for DP HH pads on stainless rotors.  Right now I have EBC HH on the bike because that was what was available.  I am not unhappy.  Just i bit more initial bite.  My guess is your squeal and maybe grab is used pads on used rotors.  Often, with sandpaper, roughening the pad and a chamfer on the top, bottom and leading edge of the pad will help, or, if you get new pads, same chamfer.  Then, as close as you can i n your neck of the woods, follow this bedding procedure   http://brakeperformance.com/bedding-in-rotors.php  Living in the city I usually just try and avoid very light and very heavy braking for the first 100 miles or so.

  The pads are new, "organic".
