Default Lyndall Brake Pads

I'm wondering how many of you are using Lyndall racing products?

I wanted to get a way from the brake dust, noise, dragging of the stock HD brake pads.

Don't count on 18,000 miles from the Lyndall pads. I got 7,000 on the rears before they were shot. Maybe lighter bikes get that mileage, but not near that on a sanely ridden Harley. However, just for the brake dust feature, they are a good choice.

I've got over 25K on my rear Lyndalls and I am no where near the minimum on the wear indicators. I figure that I got another 25K left on them. I had 25K on the front pair but noticed that one pair was wearing unevenly due to the pad not sliding evenly on the pad pin. Since I had new floating rotors on the front I decided to go with new pads too. I run the Lyndall Z+.

Did the braking power improve with these? I know the dust is less but i am just interested in stopping power and i wouldn't mind trying Lyndall next...The doudle sintered are so hard on the rotors....stop like crazy but the are aggressive...

I am very happy with the stopping power of the Lyndalls, as evidenced by purchasing another 2 sets for the front. I am certain that if I hadn't had to replace the 2 front sets that I would easily have gotten at least 50K out of all 3 sets.

Had 'em on my V-Rod and put them on my SG the first week I had it...The no dust feature is a godsend and the stopping power is always there when I need it.
