are the pads on the front and rear calipers the SAME on a 2008 Touring Ultra?
On my 2012 Ultra....trying to think back to last summer when I replaced front & rear, I thought they were different pad designs but cannot recall, have not had to replace pads on the old 08 I picked up last year.

so with everyone buying non-OEM pads, what are you using for the rear pad BRAKE PASTE?
Its that little tube they give you with OEM pads you are supposed to smear on the back of the rear pads to prevent braking chatter.
These non-OEM pads I bought via suggestion in this thread did not come w/ any paste.

Just the pads. Not sure what you're talking about showing three sets of rear pads, but I use these and they are fine. And at a fraction of the price, they don't have to get the same mileage because pads are so easy to change. Tho I'm not seeing a difference in mileage.
Clips and pins don't often need changing, but I suppose you could buy oem occasionally, and still reduce you average price of pads by a lot

Just ordered a set of Lyndall Xtremes for my bike, will get here tomorrow so I plan on installing and giving them a work. Never heard of having to put any sort of "brake paste" though-

No sir, first real touring bike. ****, first Harley. I'm still young and dumb myself, I just got lucky and got a decent price on an 07 king.
Hell, I'm just now coming up on changing the pads and I've already put 8k on the bike. If I'm missing out on some sort of magic paste, man I need to know that stuff!

100% more brake-dust on the rims and fender too.
OEM is more pricey but you clearly get what you pay for.
