deleting as it keeps posting replies ahead of the original.

I've had great luck with the Lyndalls in the past. I believe they recommend their gold pads for rainy environments.

I wish they had said something when I bought them. Do they think everyone is a fair weather rider. Thanks for the tip on the Gold pads though. I've sent them two e-mails and haven't received any response yet.

Interesting topic... I just purchased a new 2013 Ultra on 8/5/13 with non-ABS and thought the brakes were great with the Brembo Calipers and all,,, first time washing my bike and the brakes suck now... with only 930 miles on the bike.
I used Bike Brite to wash everything and rinsed 2 or 3 times before moving on to other parts of the bike...
This is not my first bike,,, owned Harleys since 1985.

I recently rode in heavy rain for over an hour and then later the same day a heavy down pour with hail and I had no issues slowing down or stopping. Of course I didn't garb a handful of front brake or jump on the rear brake pedal. Just stopping normally, no issues at all with the Z pads.

I agree with the above...rode in some nasty weather on a 3,500 mile trip recently and my Z+s worked great.
