you don't have to buy from here but, there are a few types listed for your bike here to get you started. hd, ebc, lyndall, etc.... just search based on your year and what is available in your neck of the woods.

hd ref#-
Front hd p/n: 41300004
rear hd p/n: 41300053

teach the man to fish-
google loves you, searching by part number will turn up compatitble aftermarket replacements:
front- https://www.google.com/search?q=4130...hrome&ie=UTF-8
rear- https://www.google.com/search?q=4130...hrome&ie=UTF-8

 

thanks ....well down here , Colombia , it is a miracle getting anything ...they have things all over the place , yesterday was trying to buy 3 screws ...visited 6 different shops until finally one told me about a specialist shop ...you would never guess it from the outside..
so i need to tell them what i want exactly ...

 

harley pads about usd 92 dollars ...for rear pads ...ouch ...

 

where are you looking?

 

There are all manner of options available in the aftermarket, but they may not be readily available in Columbia. That H-D cost may be exceeded by buying abroad and importing others, though that is worth investigating. I have recently used EBC and Brembo on my Harley and Buell respectively. I bought the Brembos on my local Ebay.

Don't waste too much time chasing this! You bought a foreign vehicle and an expensive one at that. Buying spare parts is not the time to have buyer's remorse, so smile and pay up!
