Brembo is the manufacturer of the calipers on the 08 and later tourers. On your scoot I would go with Lyndall's

I have EBC doudle sintered and they stop great...make sure to clean you pistons while you have the caliper off it will greatly improve the power too...

I really like my Brembos.

When I had the Heritage I used Lyndall pads. They work well on dry roads and wear good.

But they suck in the rain.

I have an 08 Ultra Classic with Brembo rotors and ABS. I put Lyndall pads and full floating rotors all the way around man you should see me stop! No dust no noise long wear huge improvement over stock for sure. I would not use anything else.

I disagree DAWG. I have an 07 SG [personal bike] with the brembo brake conversion with Lyndall golds. They stop just fine with no noise. Plenty of stopping power. My "work bike" is an 08 police electraglide, [stock pads]. The feel and stopping power are almost the same.I'm more aggressive with my work bike due to 10 hrs a day riding in a city atmoshpere and with ABS. Now, there is a break in period with the lyndall that i have found. but once broken in they are fine.

+1. Those pads are good. Almost too good. The first time I got a good handful of brake lever with those on my GSXR, I almost somersaulted the bike and me!

The stockers are fine for me right now on the RK, but I could see going with EBCs when the time comes for a replacement.

When I changed out my rear brake pads (08 FLHR, ABS) I stayed with HD OEM. If my memory serves me correctly they are stamped Brembo which means there made by Brembo? Will do the same with front pads since I have them in cabinet when needed. Trust me, I don't have problems stopping and they don't squeak (off dealer floor they did for about 5,000mi then stopped). If I ever up grade rotors and pads it will be Lyndall.

I changed out the rear pads on my 08UC with the lyndalls and i don't like them at all but will keep them for a little while longer. They DO NOT have the stopping power of the stock pads. I have had them on for 4k and as soon as i get the time i will change them back to the stock pads.
