Looking for Brake Pad recommendations
Hey guys,
I plan to change the front and rear brake pads and flush my brake system in a couple of weeks. I have never done either of these services before but have found some excellent YouTube videos recently along with threads here from others.
Waiting on my service manual now!
The big question is if its best to stay with the Harley OEM pads or should I look at some other options that may be better! What pads are you guys using on your touring bikes with ABS?
Thanks in advance.

That is generally my thoughts as well. However I know HD is not in the brake business. Someone makes them for HD and maybe there is better out there.
Thanks all

I just did the rears on mine @ 35k. I had done the front @ 21.5 when I did the tires. I used OEM because they have never made noise and they are not dirty/dusty like Ive heard some can be.
