Default Lets talk brake pads

It's that time again and I'm pad shopping for FLHTCU
Stock again maybe
EBC good but tend to squeak
SBS loved them on sport bikes never used on big pig

If installed correctly there will never be a squeak regardless of the brand of pad. I will say for me the EBC organic pads created a lot of dust.

I've tried many.....just go Lyndall and never look back.

I have Lyndall carbon rotors and run the gold pads. stops are like nothing else. its not about how hard you can jam the brakes but the controlled pressure of the pads against the rotor and heat displacement. they make a great product

I have a Electraglide. i tried the Lyndall gold pad i think they are called. They still had brake dust, wore down fast and i didnt notice any better stopping power. I am back to stock pads ever sense. and they stop better and last the loooooongest ! just use the stockers!!
