I have Lyndall Z+ pads on the front and rear

http://www.lyndallbrakes.com/application-guide/ (Scroll to the bottom of the page)

I purchased them through a sponsor of this forum. Great price and they were in my mailbox in 3 days.

Edit: The reason I changed from OEM pads to Lyndall is that the Lyndall were, reportedly, less dusty. When you have whitewalls to clean, less dust is nice. I have not had a problem with noise from the Lyndall pads. I do, however, find that they ARE less dusty than OEM pads. So far, I prefer the Lyndall over OEM. By the same token, I did not have any problems or complaints with the OEM pads.

I have Lyndall on the rear but don't really like them, noisy. Going back with HD next time.

Got 20k out of my rear OEM pads on my Heritage so I replaced them with OEM.

Oem are way cheaper. I don't like all the dust they make.

I'm using Lyndall Gold+ front and rear.

A little less dust and slight better braking, but wouldn't consider them a major step up from the OEM.

Lyndall Z's, both ends... Dennis Kirk price is about the same at the OEM's at your dealership. IMO they are as good or a little better and don't dust the rims nearly as much, at least 75% less.

Lyndal Z pads. Get about 40k out of a set with little brake dust or squeak.

I sell Z plus for $40 per set or golds for $50 a set for Gold pads. Price is shipped in the ConUS. I have most in stock. 2008- current Softails are mostly 7256 and 7257 or the older softails 2000-2006 are 7195. Give us a call and we can ship same day as long as they are in stock. We have the best price around. Or you can buy off our ebay.

Next time I'm going to try pads from D2Moto. Inexpensive, yes, but I've heard other riders say good things about them. Expensive doenst make brake pads great, necessarily.
