Time for some new brake pads on my Road glide........
pretty happy with my original ones.......back ones are close now after 28,000 miles......front ones aren't ready yet.....
has anyone had any luck with any different pads or should I just stick with OEM.....
just checking with all the experts before I do this..............
thanks and happy thanksgiving to all.......................
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.
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.
Dawg,
What do you mean by (pre brembos?) don't know what you mean.
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.
