Don't want to hijack the thread, but...

I assume by "the inspection" you mean a safety inspection? I've never had anybody check pad thickness as part of that.

I was forced to do a fair bit of riding in the rain early this week and the front brakes sounded and felt really rough when wet, and I'm assuming it's the stock pads installed (bought the bike used)

After searching the forum I gathered that the Lyndall Gold + was a popular choice and ordered the 7256 and 7257

Will report back after I've given them a test run.

2010 Fat Bob. I know I cleaned up the pistons when I replaced them but can't remember using grease for the back of pad. I always do on cars when I replace them. I'll have to give it a look. When I use the compressor to blow off the dust of the bike and blow the brake dust out they don't squeak for a few. Once they get warmed up and I use them they will squeak.

Like i said i will check the grease situation and check back. Love the pads though way better than stock. will use for the rears once those go.
