Cool Streetglide front brakes

I need to replace the front brakes on my 09 Streetglide, should I go with the factory pads or is there something better?

Go stock..everyone complains about brake dust but that's what brake pads are supposed to do. Brake pads that don't produce dust may be too rigid and have less stopping power. Also have heard about stopping issues with some of the Lyndall Z+, and the Golds squeaking. You think a company that is known for their brakes would have these issues worked out by now. Just my 2 cents.

How many miles did you get out of your pads? I have an 09 and am curious how long I have left. Thanks

Still going after 8500 miles. I was told anywhere from 8,000-10,000 depending on how you ride.
