Default Dustless brake pads.......

Anybody got any reccommendations for a good dusless drake pad?? I have the big whitewalls and the more brake dust I can keep off them the easier they are to clean. I've got a set of Lyndal pads on there now and they do a great job as far as the dust goes, but I can't keep them from squeeking like crazy! They gotta go!! Thanks for any tips.

No pads are dustless. I'm running Lyndall Z-pads Glold, so far so good. Most here highly recommend them.

Order from Dr. V-Twin, great price, great service.

Hawk makes awesome performance pads, Iv used them in many many applications... just never for my bike. In fact.. I never knew that they made pads for bikes... I too would consider hawk pads when I need them next.

Lyndall's. They are "dustless" in quotations as all brake pads produce dust but these produce much less. I have been running them for years as i run WWW's too.

Hey if your Lyndal pads are squealing, I would contact lyndal directly. They will work with you. I had the z+ on my RK classic and was pretty happy with the dust.

I have not experience the dreaded squeal, but those who do put brake lubricant or whatever it is called on the back of the pads and quite often that fixes it.
