For pre Brembos I recommend Lyndall Z+ pads. For the Brembos (08 and later or those that have converted) I recommend sticking with stock.

2nd the LRB Z+ Pads. The stock pads became a little noisy and created lots of dust. Although the Z+ pads advertise as nearly zero dust, I still get some but not nearly as bad. No noise whatsoever and perform very well to meet my needs--these are my recommendation.

I heard a rider complaining about the LRB Gold. He stated they did not stop very well and created a lot of dust, so I'm staying clear of those--his opinion.

just my $.02.

Hey Dawg,
I agree with the recommendation on Lyndall based on my experience with them on my 2003 Ultra. Why are they not recommended for 08 and later? Need to know for future use.

For that kind of milage on the ones you now have, I'd stay with them. Lyndhall is a good
alternate

If you have 28,000 on the Originals I would not look to far for any thing else..

Dawg,
What do you mean by (pre brembos?) don't know what you mean.

I have a 2005, what would you get if they needed replacing?
Have no idea what's there now..

Thanks bro..
Happy Turkey Day everyone! lol

Over the last few years or so, Harley started putting higher quality Brembo brake calipers/components on their bikes. I think this was done in stages over the different models so you may want to research your bike.
