wait until spring for me to comment on the dusting.
These are what I am inclined to go with. The dusting can't be any worse than the Axxis pads and if you say they bite nicely, they should be exactly what I am looking for. Where did you get yours and how much did you pay?

as for your other suggestion, ITR pads will not fit GS-R calipers.
I am not necessarily unhappy with the Axxis pads and the price is still pretty tempting but if I don't have to deal with the dust anymore with a different pad, I will try it out.

I have considered OEM but it just doesn't offer the braking power I am looking for.
