Default Softail Brake Pads?
I know, I know, there is a special area of the forums just for brakes, but mine need changed and I'm wondering what's good for a Softail.

Any strong opinions? I tend to be pretty hard on my brakes...

Lyndall Racing.&nbsp\\; They work a little better with less fade.&nbsp\\; They last longer and they make hardly any brake dust which is great if you have spokes or white walls.
