PM 6 Piston Caliper and Lyndall Brake Pad - 5/20/2008 12:07:36 AM    sfrisby6022   Posts: 32 Joined: 10/11/2007 Status: offline Do you think that a sufficient amount of surface space is being covered on the rotor - by this 6 Piston PM Caliper.... Look like it's not grabbing as deep as the rear caliper. Brake seems to work very well - Using Lyndall Z-Pads and surprised the discoloration that is happening.. However - the rotor is as smooth as the day I put it on. I went with the HD Rear Chrome Caliper as PM does not have one yet for the 08 softails... Furthermore - I'm using HD Pads - because Lyndall does not have Z-Pads for the 08 Softails until June 08 - Supposedly - There is some scarring on the rear w/ the HD Pads - however the discoloration is not as bad. Only about 150 miles thus far Thumbnail Image Thumbnail Image Attachment (2) < Message edited by sfrisby6022 -- 5/22/2008 10:12:51 PM > Post #: 1

I wouldn't be concerned at all. _____________________________ ''06 Softail Deluxe Blue/White Got a ride to plan?
