Brake pad recommendations
My new chrome wheels just arrived. I got them with new rotors front and rear as well as all new bearings. I thought it would be a good idea to put new brake pads on as well. I'm thinking of either Lyndall Z+ for the low dust to keep my new wheels cleaner, or maybe the Gold+, but I worry those might eat up the rotors faster as well as be dirtier. But the Gold+ might last longer, which would help justify the higher price. The Z+ won't have the same bite as the Gold+, but both are supposed to be better than stock. Which would you pick and why?

Second question. Looking on the websites for the Lyndall pads, I can easily find front pads, 41854-08. The sites list the rear pads as part number 41852-08B. The pad fitment guides have contradictory information. In one place it says the front and rear pads are the same, in another place it says the front pads only fit the rear on a couple CVO models. I don't see either the Gold+ or the Z+ that list the rear part number for fitment. Are the front and rear pads actually the same on my '22 Ultra Limited (FLHTK) or are they different part numbers?
Also, I seem to have the most dust issues with the stock pads in the rear (it's also possible that the dust in the rear is belt dust and not brake dust, or a combination of both), has anyone used different pad types in the rear vs the front? Like Z+ in the rear and Gold+ in the front?
