Things are getting personal now, and that's not fair on everyone else that reads this Forum. Your aggressiveness in writing style is unhelpful to what is a leisure forum not a manufacturers health & safety listing.
I stand by my words on the simple epithet that a braking force is generated by applying pressure between two moving surfaces, the end result being friction. A by-product of friction is the wearing of either surface which produces a 'dust' of material be it brake pad compound or metal from the disc.
All pad material wears at different rates, as do the discs & I accept that manufacturers spend many hours and much money to reach an acceptable compromise on various applications.
I accept that scrupulous cleaning and maintenance of the brake itself will help.
I also accept that Lyndall may produce differing pad material to that supplied by H-D MoCo as standard and that Lyndall pads may wear at different rates.
BUT - the underlying cause of all this is friction, and by vilifying my words you are clouding and personalising the issue, which will only be detrimental to those reading.
The advice, as on all forums, is research, research and more research. If the reader is unable to do this, the best advice is to contact the manufacturer of the product.
I shall say no more on the subject save to say that 'Mopar' has it's own meaning here in the UK..

Yeah, right. I heard that it's usually very cloudy....in England.
