Suggestions for better rear brake pads

[wimoonshiner]

I called Lyndall Race pads and they no longer make rear pads for Harley Trikes anymore, he said there wasn't enough requests for them, so I'm bummed out because I love Lyndall pads. Currently I have stock pads on and I absolutely HATE them, the squeeking drives me nuts. So my question is, does anyone have recommendations for BETTER pads than stock Harley ones?

Changed myself too. Mine rear's came with pad clips for the top upper and lower mounting slides. I only replaced the clips that was on the original locations per HD manual.

I used Semi-Sintered.....

And on my 11 i disable the parking brake, It was next to useless , And if you set it a hair too tight the rear pads will wear out in a heartbeat...

EBC HH Sintered, been using them for years and on different bikes, love them. Have a new set, front and rear in the shop waiting to be installed

Yeah, but remember the rear pads get a boost in the pad to rotor clearance each time u adjust and use the parking brake

I will say it is a poorly designed set up for sure
