Default brakes

just put a set of rear breaks from Hawk Performance on my 08, not that the name means anything much to me, but damn that was easy as hell, on and off in less then 15 minutes.
Feeling Good

Wrenching on your own bike is pleasing in itself. You know it was done to your satisfaction.

I did it on my Panhead years ago. I remember that I had to rivet the shoes on. And didn't have a clue what I was doing. If it hadn't been for a couple of guys in the club, I don't know it would have turned out that well.

well according to them they are the best but I will see, they weren't the cheapest or the most expensive, I guess time will tell. I just googled brake pads and they were the lucky winners. I got them from http://www.cv-performance.com/ 35 bucks shipped. Way less then Harley pads

I have used Hawk pads on racing sports cars and street vehicles (cars, vans, etc.) for 20 years
and they are excellent. I haven't used them on bikes, but I might on the next change.. (currently
using EBC high metallic.. they build up dust and squeal like stuck pigs.. )..
