Default Brakes

So I swapped out my EBC double H sintered rear brake pads with Lyndell Z's on the recommendations of all the posts I searched on this form. All I can say is WOW! No squeaks, no whine, just solid brake performance. They stop the damn bike with out issues.
NICE!!!

Sh:t I hope that's not the case. The EBC's squealed relentlessly.

I have had the Z,s on about a year. New, they squealed After a while they did not but in a short time they did again. I think they put too much meal in them. Pull in a parking lot and people think your bike is junk.

Have you tried using a suitable grease on the back of the pads, to try to stop the squeal? Also clean the discs. May help.....

I put them on a sportster, no complaints, work great, no noise. I've also used EBC pads with no problems, forget which type. Got Lyndall Golds for my Glide, haven't put them on yet.
