Default Best Brake Mod's
I've got an '06 FLHT. I was wondering what the best upgrades were for the braking system.
I did a search and saw a couple references to Lyndall Pads. I assume these are good. Anyone running Braided lines on the front?
I'd be glad to hear some options/ opinions.
Thanks

Ya can do some Lyndall pads and/or you can even swap over to the stock Brembos used on 08's and up by doing a few little mods. Money-wise, just doing Lyndalls will show an improvement.

I went with Lydall brake pads front and rear on my '06 FLHTCI last year at about 24K miles. I also put on SS Brake Lines #45212-97B. Great improvement.

I put Magnum Chromite brake lines on mine, just for the look. I'll probably go with Lyndall brake pads when the time comes.

Besides the stealer, where can one get the Brembo calipers at a reasonable price? I don't seem to find to many places that have them for my 06 RKC.

Ebay is usually pretty great! I buy alot of chrome off there. also check our own forum for people who have replaced their Brembos with custom calipers!

Ride Safe, Mike

Even just braided lines are a great upgrade. And they don't just look good.
