I havent run them personally because I know far too many who have had issues with them. Huge money for basically stock performance and crap warranty...no thanks. They also only warranty anything if you can prove youve only used their pads....basically, it sounds like they dont really have any warranty lol.

I ride the same as you it sounds....commuting, long trips, track days, a little bit of everything...I've had really good luck with EBC rotors and pads. I've also heard great things about Galfer rotors and am planning on trying them next on my road glide.

 

Frequently what is considered to be warped rotors is "brake pad deposition"
Google it and consider for yourself.

 

I have tried many different rotors and calibers over the years.
Im sold on Beringer.
Not the best picture I run them front and back

 

Isn't it strange how one person can have major problems with
a product and others think the same product is the greatest??

I haven't tried Lyndall rotors but I use Lyndall Z+ pads only.
I tried the Gold pads once and didn't like them. They stuttered
on hard stops and made noise.
When someone asks for a recommendation on brake pads, I'll
always say Lyndall Z pads.
Virtually no dust and excellent braking, always.

I didn't get any mileage from the stock pads on my '16 SG nor
the '18 UC. (12 to 14,000 miles on each bike for front pad setup.
The Lyndall look hardly used after 10,000+ on the UC..................

YMMV

 

Thanks. Interesting reading.

 

I did order a complete set of EBC HH pads, they should end up on the bike before the end of the year.

I am little wary of pads that have a long life. Eventually something has to wear, either the pads or the rotors.

 

Beringer is good stuff.

FWIW, Fuel Moto is running MJK Performance parts on their 200+ HP M8 Road King. They have a radial mount set up too that works with standard fork legs.

I would love to switch to a radial mount set up like that one, along with the inverted front suspension. But...$$$$!

I would personally go with Galfer over Lyndall, based on what I've read from user reviews. I've used Lyndall pads before, and didn't feel they were great enough to keep with them once it was time to replace them. Seeing that Lyndall rotor cracked that badly is enough to cement my opinion too.

 

Can’t speak about their rotors, but been using their pads over many years (Lyndall Gold+) and their awesome paired with EBC contour rotors!

 

Last picture is just me comparing the stock vs the EBC

 

I used to deal with brakes and rotors on a daily basis for our machines. Nothing but a pain in the *** I tell ya. Brand new rotors going bikes and causing brake lever chatter right out of the box. Brake pads...make your own choice. I have run THe LRB Z Plus pads on my 2013 Road Glide for over 100k miles. They suffer in the rain is my main complaint. But they last a loooonnnnggg time. I ran their rotors on a T Sport I owned. This was when they first came out with the all black rotors. They worked great and I had no issues. The rotors were as light as a piece of cardboard. I sold the bike, new owner was in touch with me until he sold the bike and never had an issue either.

I have not bought brake pads in quite a while as I have more than my fair share of bikes. THe one that needs pads now is not running currently. Assuming I can find LRB Z Plus at a decent price (less than $50 a set) I'll continue to run them. I think I probably get at least 20K out of a set of their front pads. I'm not much of a rear brake guy. In over 100k miles I changed the rear on my older Road Glide once. I'm not az cheerleader however I'm not a naysayer either. I use what works well for me. Although, it rains a lot where I live now so I will have to take taht into consideration as I did find Lyndalls to be dismal in the rain. There. That's the bad.

As far as their rotors, I would not spend that kind of scratch for rotors again. I had no issues but I'd rather spend taht money on something else. If I had a rotor issue I'd get some of the Galfer's which are fully floating and have the cool wave design that all these other guys have now copied as best they can. Reason for this choice? I;ve never run the Galfers and they are well respected on the AMA circuit. Those bikes go a hell of a lot faster than I ever will, although our bikes weigh almost three times what those weigh.

So, make your decision on what is right for you, finance wise and ride wise. The only way to know for sure about a specific product is to spend the dough and try it. I enjoy trying out expensive things. Some have lived up to their marketing, others have not Live and learn.
