Default Brake dust

Looking for a brake pad that has the least amount of brake dust. What's a good new brand?

In my 07 SG (gone now) I used LRB Gold pads... they stop very well & are almost dustless. Most composite pads, like the Kevlar models, are better & produce less dust than HDs stock metal pads do. Opinions will vary.....

just so you know it is a balancing act

hard pads tend to be cleaner, but also tend to squeal and squeal ( the install is crucial) & and are longer lasting.

softer pads tend to be quieter and will make less dust, shorter service life


I'm happy enough with the stock pads on my 09.
I have EBC's on my evo

Lyndall Zplus really low dust, but not the best during wet weather. Lyndall Gold great in all weather and a little more dust, but less than stock. The stock pads are pretty good as far as for what they were designed for...to stop the bike dependably and have a relatively long service life....just the dust as you have experienced.
