brake pads?
I was looking over the bike a couple days ago and realized that it is time for some new brake pads. Which pads are the best to put on an 03 dyna lowrider? Is there a write up on the procedure somewhere? I have worked on brakes on cars plenty but never on a bike.
Thanks,
Jay

I just replaced my front brake disk and went with new OEM pads (p/n 44082-00C).
The 2003 Dyna Models Service manual is your friend.
Here's a link to the Instruction Sheet that came with the new pads.
My pleasure....
I bought Lyndall pads for my bike. 7195 Gold +. Same pads for both front & rear.

Stock Harley Pads com with an instruction sheet inside the box. Very simple to do. I bought a motorcycle jack at Harbor freight for 100 bucks and it has paid for itself ten time over. Good luck
Lyndall pads are vastly better than stock. I haven't tried the HD replacement pads but assume they are the same as the factory delivered pads. The HD pads work well after break-in, but you'll notice a big difference with Lyndall.

This is how I did it...
Front: Pull the caliper off, take out the 2 pad retainer bolts (12 point) and take out the pads. Compress the pistons and install the new pads. Put the retainer bolts back in and reinstall the caliper. Torque to specs. If you do not open the system, you should not have to bleed it.
Rear: Take out the two pad retainer bolts (8mm 12 point) and pull out the pads. Compress the pistons taking care not to damage the rotor and install the new pads, reinstall the pins and torque to specs. If you do not open the system, you should not have to bleed it.
Of course, Murphy's Law is in full effect anytime you work on a Harley Davidson...or an airplane.
