Any difference in braking performance between the EBC HH and their semi-sintered? The latter are supposed to wear less on the rotors.

(I find the stock mediocre at best.)

I have a 19 Road Glide. I havent replaced pads yet but probably am about due to. Are the front and rear pads the same? I think they were on my Street Glide.

Harley has different part numbers, but they do look the same to me. Rear set did come with template and grease, front didn't have those.

They are the same on my 19 SG, what's different about the RG?

What makes you think all the pads aren't the same?

I have identical sets of pads on all three calipers.

To answer the OP, there's no right or wrong answer when it comes to brake pads. Right now I'm running 3 sets of $5.25 eBay pads. Noisier than OEM but quieter than EBC. Took them awhile to seat but braking is just fine. Only have 1,000 miles on them so far.

Can't beat the Harley OEM pads for longevity and over all performance.

Just to update, I went with the EBC Double H’s…no particular reason, other than wanting to try something different, and these pads seem to be pretty popular. Overall I’m pleased with the performance and longevity of the oem pads, so if I don’t like these I will switch back the next time. They were cheaper than HD’s, my grand total was around 143 bucks tax and all through Revzilla with free shipping, and they are supposed to be here Friday (ordered Tuesday).

Thanks for the replies…
