Please recommend "cleaner" brake pads?????

HI...My gal just got a Deluxe with the wide whitewalls, and the rear whitewall gets dirty with brake dust after a few miles.
Can anyone recommend a brake pad that won't dust, yet give me adequate stopping power?
It's for an 07...
Thanks in advance.

Lyndal Racing Brakes Z+ pads, little to no dust, same stopping power as OEM if not better. I've seen some complaints about lack of stopping power in the rain but I ride in all weather and haven't noticed anything unusual. YMMV.

Lyndall z plus with my whitewalls. Nice cleaning trick for the whitewalls to is to use Mr. Clean magic erasers with shout! laundry stain remover. Wet the tire, hit it with shout and rub lightly with the Mr clean until it sparkles white.

I agree with the Lyndall pads. I have them on my bike. The whitewalls don't get nearly as dirty.
However, I disagree with the "no dust" statement. They are brake pads. They are sacrificial. They make dust. It's just the dust they make must be a different color and/or doesn't attach to whitewalls like oem pads. They sure don't dirty up whitewalls like the stockers do.
