I know my old 05 K12S would lift the back if you grabbed the front hard enough. Though it was an ABS bike. Unsure of the pads on it. Unfortunately, has been sold to a new owner (apparently is on this site now).Put a full set of EBC Sintered brake pads on my K today. I will bet that the front brakes will lift the back wheel!! I expected that I would need to "break 'em in', but that was not needed.
Non- ABS bikes will likely benefit most from this addition - I'd like to hear from any other with "working ABS" to see if those bikes with those systems. I'll bet the stopping power is incredible!
My bike is a 1998 - part numbers are FA407HH ($78/4 pads) for the back and FA18HH ($42/2) for the back. Fairly easy to put 'em on my version - can't say how the parts fit up on newer bikes. The Clymer helped in one area: It said to pad the area of the front wheel while swapping the pads (tape) - and that's exactly what the process needed. Huh. Again, very easy to put 'em in, and holey moley what brakes I have now!
Holey Moley those are brakes baby!!

I have these pads on my now, non-ABS K12RS. They are good! I expect a non-ABS bike could pull a stoppie where the rear end lifts up but at my age, I ain't gonna try it.
