Default Brake pads?
I'm looking for a recommendation on brake pads that help reduce the amount of brake dust getting on my FLSTC white walls. I know I have seen some just can't remember what brand name they are.

I'm using EBC V-Pads. I don't have whitewalls but they seem to be pretty clean pad. They don't make a mess of my chrome wheels. Good feel and stopping ability as well.

I had Lydall from hogpro on my V rod to reduce brake dust. Hogpro is a sponsor on here:

+100 - DEFINITELY the EBC HH pads above all others. Amazon has them cheap just search for fitment on your bike. Not only less dust, but best stopping power cold or hot on stock discs.

Been using Lyndall Z-Plus pads for years. Low/no dust, and MUCH improved braking over stock pads.

Cheers!

+1 on what Clammy said.

I have not used EBC pads so have no opinion on them, but I've been using Lyndal pads for years and am quite happy with their performance.
Both in dry as well as wet conditions and I've been in some rain that would drown a rat. lol

Looks like EBC wins out 4 to 3. Thanks for the suggestions.
