Performance Machine 4 piston calipers - Which brake pad?
About 2 years ago I installed Performance Machine 4 piston calipers on the front of my '09 Street Glide. (left and right) They were the direct bolt on model.
Anyway, it's time to replace the brake pads and their web site is so difficult to use and understand, I can't figure out which pads I should use for my calipers. They offer no support or contact info either. Just have to go through a dealer who are often clueless.
So wondering if anyone knows what pn is the proper one for replacement brake pads for my 4 piston PM calipers?
That's one of the problems. Nowhere on their site can I find what the pn is for the calipers on my bike.
There is no part number on the caliper itself? Have you removed one from the fork leg? Ditto on the suggestion that you match your pads with ones that are inexpensive and readily available. I believe PM has a Blog on their website.
I might be able to find the caliper pn here, then finding the pads will be a piece of cake thanks.

I haven't been able to locate a pn on the caliper itself. If I dig out the receipt from when I purchased them 2 years ago, I'll likely find it there if I can't find it online anywhere else. Most other retailers like JP or Dennis Kirk use their own pn's and not Performance Machine's.

You're not being a smart ***, but you must be a lot smarter than me. Because I can not find anywhere on PM's website, that says, exactly what pads to use on the bolt on 4 piston caliper for an '09 Street Glide. If you could point it out, I'd be forever grateful.

Try this link and match the caliper you have , in the description there is the manufactures part number listed . Gonna have to a little looking is all . I'm betting you have these calipers 0052-2413-P and the pads are for these calipers in PM's site 125X4R, 137X4B . Make a phone call they will tell you

Yep, found it! Actually mine is the 0052-2413-CH model (chrome). And the pn you found for the the pads looks to be the one as well. I found a carbon version on eBay.
Thanks TwiZted for helping me with some leg work. It shouldn't be this difficult, granted, I should've known my part number for the calipers, but it's silly the pn's for the calipers aren't listed on the PM web site.
