Ok I think I'm catching on now.....are you saying the aftermarket pad has better stopping power? Is that the issue?

No squeak and no dust. I don't get why people don't like them.
NO DUST ---- Crap.. no way.. just a 20min ride and my white saddle bags are coated with a layer of black dust form rear pads... i dont get know anyone whom dont complain of stock brakes dust issues...not to mention the dust pits the stock non alumin rims...

Maybe it's my dark red color....I dont see it. But I find myself wishing I could stop better and without locking up. Seconds count as you know.

I purchased a full set of Z+ pads for my 09 Ultra (brembo) non ABS setup.
They feel nicer and smoother , stopping power is less than stock , but not by much.
What I do like is the feel at less than 2 mph with the lyndalls , very smooth and linear.
No noise and very low dust.
Yes I did say the lyndall pads have "less" stopping power than the stockers did.
My biggest beef with the lyndall pads is with wet (raining) stopping power , they have "much less" than the stock pads.
I contacted lyndall with my concern and they said they would give me a "very good" discount on a full set of gold pads if I would like , as they have run into this before.
I'm not a fair weather rider at all , so this was a big concern to me , but lyndall seems to want to make me happy , and that says alot about their customer service.
I will probably take them up on their offer and post back at a later time.
Other than wet stopping power , I'm pretty happy with them overall.
