Default 2016 Tri Glide brake pads

Its time to replace my brake pads. I saw some for the front for under $20.00 with free shipping. The package says Volar motor sport, part number VPB235. That was for all 4 pads. Are they worth installing or are they junk?

Find some EBC pads that will perform and last.

Its the $2 part that always fails no matter how much you pay for it.

Usually good ain't cheap and cheap ain't good.

I installed EBC's from Amazon. FA641/4HH (4 pads rear, order 1 ea) and FA638HH (2 pads per side front, order 2 ea).

I've been running Lyndall Gold, now extreme and very happy with them. Next time I need rears, it will be EBC.

Next...I found $3 tires on Ebay, should I get them?

My Dad used to say "I'm not rich enough to buy cheap stuff."
I used EBC pads on my Ultra, they were great.
