Replacing Brake pads
Hey All, I have a 03 RKC and was looking at my pads the other day and they seem pretty worn more so the back ones but I figured I will just change them all.
 \\;
Are there any perferred brands or vendors for these pads or are the Harley ones good enough?
 \\;
Also I have the Service manual and read through it and seems pretty straight forwared. \\; Are there any "gotchas" from you experienced guys you can offer up?
 \\;
Thanks as always

Lyndall Z pads have a good reputation. \\; You can find them online for less than the dealer prices.

RE: Replacing Brake pads
+2 zplus pads lyndalls are they only way to go as far as I am concerned. If your's is the same as mine you will need a 12 point 1/4" and a 12 point 10mm socket. When doing back brake you can loosen pad bolts enough to drop inside pad and replace, then push \\; pad bolts back in to get it in right place, hit the rear brake and it will hold pad in place, then remove pad bolts and replace outer pad. Hope this make sense and helps.
