Brake lining what is the best going today?

[Fearless]

well the time has come to install new brake pads front and back, what brand out there today is the best to use I have not even looked at the adds yet or pricing is not a real concern. I want good brakes with as little brake dust as possible... :gah: help Fred

Thanks Jack sounds good I have not touched the brakes for four years time to put new lining and possibly rotors on back. Fred

I didn't see any brakes for my 2016 TG. Do you have a number for the Lyndall brakes.

Thanks

Pat

Pat, it looks like Lyndall does not carry or make pads for HD Trikes any more, Why I dunno, seems to me the front brakes should be the same as FLHTCU but I am not sure

EBC is a good second choice, I have used them for a number of years now, they outlasted HD pads on a HD Streetbob i rode real hard

I just e-mailed EBC for their pad material recommendations for our trikes. I will post the info when they answer.

Page 10(front) & 11(rear) of their catalog #401 list pads for the 14-18 Tri-Glide & 15-18 Freewheeler, same p/n for both models.

I asked for a combination of long life & low brake dust. I am thinking their "HH" sintered pads would do that. They are rated for heavy American cruisers.

HH are very good pads, I think a bit better than HD

They worked good on my Streetbob

I am wondering if HD is through with 6-piston calipers, now that the FW & TG have gone back to a 4-piston design?

Very good question

My guess is they shop Brembo to see what is new and improved with in their budget

Unless something has changed, as of last year Lyndall was not making pads for Tri Glides. I put EBC on when the 5k service was done (don't like HD pads) 27,000 on them now & when in for 30k service, dealer said they look great.

From EBC

Freewheeler 15-16

Rear Organic FA641/4 Semi Sintered FA641/4V Sintered FA641/4HH

Front " " FA638 " " " " FA638V " " FA638HH

Tri Glide 14-16

Rear Organic FA641/4 Semi Sintered FA641/4V Sintered FA641/4HH

Front " " FA638 " " " " FA638V " " FA638HH

Here's a thought. I just got off the phone with a nice gal at Lyndall. They still have no plans to make pads for the Trike's. However she continues to ask owners for them. Maybe more phone calls from us would help to get them going again. I told her there are more of us every year, that used their pads on our 2 wheeler that now are on 3 & we need those great Gold pads, on our Trikes. More calls 800-400-9490. Maybe it will help their decision process. :Shrug::Shrug:

lady said I was the second person calling about gold pads for a triglide today. We may get them to move off center yet.:wave4: Travel safe Fred

The first time I had to replace the pad on my '14 TG, I used Lyndall Gold pads (ordered them right from Lyndall) and loved them. When it was time for the second replacement (yes, I ride a lot) I could not locate the Lyndall pads; a call to Lyndall found that they had discontinued making the pads for the TG. At that point I switched to the EBC HH pads. Both are superior to the HD pads.

Like Bill (Posserider) said give them a call I did and let the Lady understand they are missing a great opportunity to expand the line again. Remember those who used the Gold pads on two wheelers are now three. I would love to use them. :good: travel safe Fred

I have to say,EBC are much better than HD pads. Lyndall has them all beat. Also I think they were better in the rain . Company's only react with some nagging. Call Lyndall. Grampa always told me "the squeaky wheel ,gets the grease" .

I have always used EBC HH Sintered on all my bikes and never a problem and will put them on my trike when they need replacing

They look like a long lasting pad. I emailed them a few days back & they did not respond, yet.
