I've seen on this board that guys with white walls change to Lyndall pads to get rid of the problem of break dust.
What I can't find out is if the Lyndall break pads last about as long as the OEM pads.
Have any of you had a set on your bike for 15k miles?

 

I have wide whitewalls; in my experience, the Lyndall's last longer than OEM---a lot longer.

I will buy these brake pads today if they will eliminate that annoying brake noise. Like to hear some input on the subject. I wouldnt care if I had to change them every other year.

 

Don't have whitewall but do have Lyndalls. No Dust and they have about 12k on them with plenty of life remaining.

 

You can buy them right from me, just give a call 1-866-899-5962 toll free. I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL (EST). If you go to my web site, the price is higher because I give HDFourms members pricing not available to the general public. You must telephone in these orders and specify you are a HDForums Member. This offer is done with the consent ofPaul, the owner of Lyndall Racing Brake. We also offer free shipping to Biddeford, Mainefor your '00 Road King Classic in orders of two (2) brake pads sets or more.

To answer your concernes; As far as mileage, that depends on what brake pad material you choose.

[ol][*]The Gold material is designed for more extreme weather conditions such as plowing thru 12 foot snow drifts such as you experience in your part of the woods. You never know if you come upon a heard of Moose or maybe a love struck Black Bear wanting to check out your scoot. You need to stop unless the bear is thinking "Meals on Wheels". The Gold is also suitable for track use. The mileage is about ½ of what a Z pad is. The stopping distance is decreased with the gold in comparison to the Z pad.[*]The Z-Pad was designed to perform standard street duties under normal conditions. The average feedback we get from thousands of FL (baggers) series twin cam customers is: 18K miles on the rear & 32K miles on the front. Actual mileage will vary from rider to rider due to riders actual riding habits.[*]The Red Super Z is designed only for the Metal Matrix Composite rotors only and no benefit is realized for Stainless rotors.[/ol]As far as benefits other than listed above is
[ul][*]Reduced stopping distance. You really never need any brake to the very end anyhow. [*]Dustless. No corrosive brake dust created, will not cake around your pistons prohibiting them from retracting due to piston pitting. I guess this is where the White Wall thing comes into play. [*]No rotor wear. Lyndall’s will not wear your Stainless Steel rotor. There will be no need to buy new rotors ever again.[*]Little or no noise emanating from the brakes.[*]Long service life.[*]Money back unconditional Customers Satisfaction Guarantee[*]End users support.

I installed the Lyndalls a few weeks ago on my Ultra, I have to tell you that i am Extremely pleased that All the noise is gone and the bike stops like it has never stopped before. I bought the Z pads per recomendations from forum readers and I could not be more pleased in their performance. I would buy them again anytime, they work as good or better than advertised,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Awsome Product,,,,,,,,,,, i bought mine from CycleStop and they were $34 a set....

Tag - I want to find this thread again when the time for pads arrives. Thanks for the original post duelly95

 

i now have 12000 miles on a set.... im good for another 5ish, and i ride hard...

 

....great pads, better braking and regardless of how long they last -- if you are running wide-whites, they are the only way to go.

 

Well I have to agree with most of what being said here... I have the Z pads and have - as others -experienced that they don't dust your whitewalls and that the bike is a lot quiter -allso when just pushing it around with motor stopped

HOWEVER I have experienced TERIBLE braking performance when riding in rain... and WHEN you brake (and notice that you have to pull twice as hard as when it's dry) then they SCREAM like hell untill the heat in the rotors makes the water go away...

This may be isolated to my pads and my bike - so it's just my 2 cents
