Lyndall brakes
It's time for brakes front and rear on my '03 road king. I've heard good things about Lyndall brake pads. Which ones work the best for you ?
Bike is commuter, as well as two-up on my days off. Don't want anything that will eat rotors.
TIA,
Pop

The Z+ pads have practically zero dust, which is an added bonus IMO. I'm going to stick with them.

The formula/compound used on the different Lyndall pads has been changed/improved over years...so if you haven't used a certain type in the last couple years it could be improved. Choice depends on how you ride and what your preferences are.
Z+ is definitely the easiest on rotor wear. Solid pad, good for most cruiser/touring riders.
Gold+ has more bite/power, I've had good luck with Gold+ working well from the first stop when installed against used rotors...nice pad.
Xtreme pad has HH rating, Last 2 sets I've used on dual front discs have been these. Marginal increase over Gold+, little more noise, little more rotor wear.
I personally like a lot of front brake and prefer that the rear not be prone to lock-up. I disregard my age and the fact that I'm not on a sport bike at times getting into back road grudges that may have a couple dozen brake scrubs that repeatedly shed 30-60mph. I pair Z+ on rear with either Gold+ or Xtreme front...common for guys to run Z+ rear and Gold+ front. If you want low rotor wear and don't need that extra bite on the front run Z+ on both ends. You can always try a more aggressive pad when your rotors are getting thin to see how you like them. HTH -Rick
