Just wondering how many are using the Lyndall Z Pads & do they really make much difference when still using the stock calipers. I read somewhere they stop you 10% quicker than stock pads. Any comments would be appreciated.

Use them.  Love 'em.  Feel better.  Stop better.  No fade.  Much less dust.  Last forever.  I replaced my rears at well 20,000 miles and there was still 1/4 of the pads left.  Fronts are still running and have plenty of meat remaining.

[AUSSIE_FLSTFSE]

Use them.

[Grover]

The pads are great! The best brake value out there. I just bought brembo calipers and am ordering the Z pads for them as well.

You won't be disappointed!

Compared to stock pads on oem calipers...I'd say 100% improvement front & back. Great feel & responce. No more unexpected lockup of the rear wheel.

As a matter of fact. I liked my brakes better with the oem calipers & Z pads than I do with my new Brembo's with Brembo pads. That's why I'm replacing the brembo pads with the Z pads.

Now STOP wondering and order them up...Be safe & Brake better

Mark, I had a similar reaction.  Finally got a chance to ride a dresser with Brembos and whtever pads came with the Brembos just a month or so ago.  Way better than stock of course.  But not appreciably better than my stock calipers with the other pads.  

[erniezap]

I'll add another vote for the Z-Pads (thanks Grover for the recommendation earlier this year).  More stopping power, better feel, less dust

OK, they have been ordered! Thanks for the help in relieving me of some more cash (2 sets for $80 + $6 S&H to OZ) I thought it was a great deal for such a good quality pad.
When you consider the list price on the stock HD pads is $35.95 per set.

Why thank you very much! I love this site. Where else can you get instant info and non-biased (and man they really are non-biased) opinions while having fun doing it? I've been doing it on my own all these years. You don't know how hard it is to find out if things are really as good as they're made out to be or if they work at all. Good quality or bad? Bike rags usually say everthing is the greatest since sliced bread. That's because they're getting advertising $$$ to say that! Don't get tempted to take advertisements on this site, if that's possible. Keepin' it real, your passion and you people are what makes this site so special! thanks for making me a part of it! Hoist!

[Unbalanced]

Ok I am late to this one, but for posterity sake I will chime in anyhow.

Have them on all 3 bikes wait make that 2 now ...  errr   They stop great, they have very little breakdust throwoff on your wheels.  The dust its minimal at, and its so much easier to keep wheels clean and my only gripe is there is a period of about 500 to 1000 miles that i get a bit of squeal out of them then it goes away.  Generally this has happened about 500 to 1000 miles into using the pads.   Its a bit annoying, but after having been through it once I just go ride the breaks a bit harder on the next run and usually its gone by then.   For the cost difference from Harley you can't beat em and the benefits far outweight the annoying break noise its like a car that is to close to the sensor telling you its time to get new breaks on a car.

I had used the Z+ with the stock calipers and loved them. Went to the Hawg Halter calipers and was going to order Lyndall's to replace the pads that came with them but didn't. I thought I'd give them a shot. The pads that came with the HH's didn't stop nearly as well and would blow black dust all over the front end. Orderd the Z+ and just changed them out last night and already they are far superior!!!! Can't say enough good things about Lyndall's!!! Thanks to the members of this site for turning me on to them.

[WaSEEG]

Another vote for Lyndals.

[AUSSIE_FLSTFSE]

Got my new pads a couple of days ago, I will try to find time to fit them up tomorrow morning. No I [highlight]will [/highlight]fit them up tomorrow morning. I will give them a workout on Sunday & let you know what I think.

Took everyone's advise and installed the Z's yesterday  (front and rear).  My bike has 13,600 miles and the OE pads were at least 75% left.  Rode 20 miles yesterday and they have a better feel thru the hand and foot and stop better.  Thanks!

Another vote here for Lyndall Z Pads. Just had my pads replaced the other day and what a difference these made. From the feel of my levers before changing them I thought my pads were worn out, but when they were pulled they still had about half the pad left (stock pads). Now w/the Lyndall's I have less lever travel when applying the brakes which I would believe to relate to more brake power, and also less brake dust.

Well Bandanagirl was very happy with them, I had alittle problem I bought mine from somebody on the site here can't remember who it was, I told him I needed them for my Brembo's I didn't look at them when they arrived, Wrong ones they were for the stock HD's, so Jim ordered the right ones. Oh! yes and a few extra's Chrome Starter, chrome belt guard, chrome center stand. I really wish he wouldn't have his bike around when I"m up to his shop.

So how much do these pads cost?

Twin disc upfront
single in rear

Chip,

The Lyndall "Z" pads, #7195, list for $46.00 but can be found at various on-line stores like Cycle Spot for $36 - $40 per set.  All 3 calipers take the same part number.  For reference, the stock pads from H-D list for $35.95  -  I find that to be a little high for paper weights.

[Fired00d]

I got mine from Cyclespot when I ordered they were $34.55 set/pair, but they have now gone up to $39.98 set/pair. You can see them here - Lyndall Z+ Brake Pads @ Cyclespot. Remember you will need to get three sets/pair for your EG (one set/pair for each rotor).

I CONCUR, You're going to love them.  No comparison to stock pads as far as stopping, The only thing is that I personally have not noticed any significant decrease in dust, and as a matter of fact with in the first few hundred miles they seemed to be worse.

[The Mysterious Q!]

Holy Chit these pads are great.I just swapped mine out today and the feel and stopping power is light years ahead of the stock ones.I'm a believer now. Great product.  Later,Q

Hey Q...get you a new chrome caliper for the rear and it'll be easier next time...

It's really hard to believe until you feel it, what a difference a simple brake pad can make over the stock POS stuff.

[Boatman]

It's really hard to believe until you feel it, what a difference a simple brake pad can make over the stock POS stuff.

Like Terry stated, besides stopping better, the pedal and lever has a much firmer feel (not spongey).    I don't know if it's because the back plate on the pad is not flexing?  The MOCO pads are like steel ceramic and the Z's are more like a pad (if that makes any sense).  The scraping noise at slow speed is also gone.  the MOCO pads are too hard.

With the help of the aftermarket, you can finally make a HD a nice bike.   The MOCO could do it to but would cost them a few pennies a bike.

Good brakes and a front end that works make a hell of a difference in how the bike stops, huh Bob?  Makes it all a much safer ride...

I can't remember when I installed these pads on my SEUC, but I liked them so much, that I immediately bought a set for the Sportster.  During my phone conversation with Paul Kittrell prior to my purchase, he indicated 30% more stopping power over stock.  Not sure how that percentage was calculated, but what I do know, is both of my bikes stop........Right Now!  You'll love 'em!

I still love my bike but is always a work in progress.

Your bars and seat made it feel much different than mine and your engine is stronger, brakes
stronger, suspension smoother, it felt like a different model bike than mine. I am wanting to
do the 575 bars and a corbin seat next after the 20,000 mile service. It seems like the mods
and the money just keep pouring into it. It's all good, I love my bike.

You going to tackle the bars yourself?  Or you and Mike going to bring beer and we do it here in the garage some weekend?  Hey, bring a whole pile of parts.  And more beer.  The front tire might be on the back and counter rotating before we're done.  But it'll be fun.

Ken is thinking about having John do his magic to the new Jim's motor this weekend.  You ought to tell him all about the special voodoo that he do do.

Bubba did the 575 bars in his bike so now that he has experience I thought I would
talk him into doing mine to. I don't know about all that beer, the bars might be hanging
on the trunk or at the least turned around backwards. But if you have more experience
and more tools me and ole bubba might have to road trip to Joplin.

John's special voodoo magic has BIG POWERS. He can turn a stock bike into a fire breathing
monster capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound and crushing your competition!!!!

  and stock it.   We don't need the food in it anywhey because the Pizza    Killer don't cook at home.... 


Sounds good to me I always wanted to learn on someone else's bike just to see if I could put it back together.

Sounds like a good plan, maybe I should try that!

Don't let Bubba kid you, he has already installed them on his bike.
He (learned) on his own bike. Since he is experienced he can now
install them on mine.

[Banana man]

BTW, Bubba was good enough to come over today and help me install
the rear brake pads on my bike. It was just a little harder to do than
the fronts. It is great to have friends that will help work on your
bike if needed. Thanks Bubba!!!

[Bubba]

Mark next time just bring your bike over here......

I'm a city boy, (don't remember bugs over here at the bubba house).  Man I don't remember being eat up by those skitters, but them things can stand FLAT FOODED and SCREW a TURKEY....... 


but you are welcome my friend.

Ok, my brakes only have 10K on them..  but I bit the bullet and ordered 3 sets of pads from CycleSpot.  They appear to be the cheapest out there (well, if you get the correct sku).  I'll be putting them on this weekend if they show up!

Any words of advice..  besides the usual 6 pack, and good luck?

Fronts are easy, the rear is a different story. It is easy if you back the axle out
enough to free the caliper.

Great pads for the any amount of money. I use them on both of my bikes and could not be happier. Better stopping, less dust, and  they last a respectable amount of time. If you ever get the chance, they make great disc also which will again improve the results you get....

[Banana man]

I can't remember when I installed these pads on my SEUC, but I liked them so much, that I immediately bought a set for the Sportster.  During my phone conversation with Paul Kittrell prior to my purchase, he indicated 30% more stopping power over stock.  Not sure how that percentage was calculated, but what I do know, is both of my bikes stop........Right Now!  You'll love 'em!

These brakes are great. 30% more stopping power is very realistic. They stop a lot better than stock
brake pads do. And yes I do love them. Will not use anything else now.

Gentlemen... I have a 08 SERK with the obligated squeal... Needless to say, I've read on this site (numerous areas) about the Zyndall Z+ pads. I inturn ordered mine as well. Today Brown arrived (yeaaa!!) but with...the 7254 Gold Plus pads, ummmmm. Q. I see by Lyndalls site...that the Gold's are around 20 bucks extra...anyone use them? Or...send them back? Thanks heaps!

Were it me I'd send them back and get what you'd originally intended.  The Gold really aren't a daily use street pad.

Spoke to the owner (Paul Kittrell), today... He said the Gold is their top of the line pad. He said to go ahead and use them, and if I'm not completely happy he would send the Z+. I was charged for the Z+ and that would stand. Needless to say, I'll report my test...that is, when I get my ride back from Harley! Muddy

Good luck.  Might be a little hard on rotors.  Something to watch.

[scottt]

I installed the Lyndall Z Plus Pads on my 07 SEUC before heading to the 105th. I rode in rain, high speeds and a lot of traffic. The pads worked great. No brake dust after 5,000 miles. I did get a little brake squeek when the pads were hot, it stopped when they cooled down. I will continue using them.

And your report is ........

I've asked an advise from Lyndall for my '08 CUSE3 :
Use our # 7254 G-Plus in the front calipers, and our # 7254 Z-Plus in the rear caliper.
Both are ABS compatible, both are zero dust, zero noise, rotor friendly, 30 % more stopping power, 18,000 mi plus service life.

I'm interested by your tests.

I would use the "Z" pads.  I've used both and the Z'z are much more rotor friendly and in my opinion are a lot more rider friendly under normal operating conditions.

I used the gold pad on my 2000 road king classic.  The bike sounded like a garbage truck with original pads and every other brand I tried.
I put the LRB gold pads on...problem solved.  They are the only brake pad I will ever use again.
Quiet, progressive feel, very little dust, great customer service.

Time to call Paul and order a set of Z Plus pads for the FLHR.

It never ends.

Ain't it great?   

[PR3VS56]

Guys, I haven't read the whole thread, but I DO have experience with the Z+ pads.  They're great UNLESS you're in heavy rain.  THEY WILL FAIL IF THEY GET WET ENOUGH. 

I read several posts back & forth on this subject on another board, and I was one who said they worked fine in the rain.  That is, until I was caught in a serious downpour.  The Z+ will fail in heavy rain, believe me.  It was a very scary moment for me, low visibility, heading for an intersection with NO BRAKES.  Not fun. 

Do the Lyndall Gold + pads.  No wet weather problems.

News to me.  I've been caught in some frog stranglin' turd floatin' downpours with Z Plus pads in the past two years...........and have NEVER had a failure.  Not one.  Solid as a rock!  I've even had the rear ones get oil soaked due to the dipstick popping out.  A little brake cleaner fixed them up, and they were good enough to get me home.

I hear ya, and that was me until it happened ONCE.  Once was more than enough.  I don't know why the difference that one time, but it made a believer out of me.  If you check their website, it mentions the water advantage for the Gold +

From their website:

The Gold Plus compound is our latest advancement in high performance friction materials. This racing formula offers extreme stopping power in both wet and dry conditions. Dust and rotor wear are eliminated. This proprietary blend of organics and trace iron requires no break-in and can see over 18,000 miles.

(the wet & dry is exactly like that on their website:  bold & red)

For the Z+

Our Z Plus compound is a softened version of the Gold Plus compound. It is excellent for general purpose riding and offers a high coefficient of friction. This is the most rotor friendly pad in the industry. It produces no dust, and no noise. The service life generally averages about 18,000 miles.


They're the same price.  Why not go for the Gold Plus pads?

I have no physical proof of how rotors are affected by the Gold Plus, but I have read here.....contrary to that which you post above from Paul's website.......that Glod Plus pads tend be hard on rotors, will turn them black, etc.
I live in Alabama, and ride all over the southeast.  Needless to say, more often than not, I get caught in some bad clouds.  The Z plus pads work fine......for me, and my rotors are in great shape. 
What I don't know is if Paul is making that rotor wear claim based on testing with one of his rotors.  Regardless of all of this, Paul clearly tells everyone who purchases his products for the first time that "you bought a brake company, not brakes."  He WILL make things right.  All you gotta do is call him.  He's a stand up guy.................VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY few of those left today.

I stand corrected.

Anyway, it will be Gold Plus for me.  I didn't notice any difference in the rotors.  I hope everyone does well with the Z+, wet or dry.

Maybe this is old news, but I have had the Gold+ pads on my bike, and the squeal returned.  I replaced them with the Z+ pads, and now I'm happy.  The Gold+ pads are more for racing. 
I had a hell of a time getting this all straightened out though.  I called Lyndall Racing Brakes- talked to Paul- after much discussion I ordered the Gold+ pads for the rear brake on my '08 SE Ultra.  I was sent the wrong pads.  (The ones I received were for the older style calipers).  I returned the pads and received the correct set.  After several miles my squeak redeveloped.  (That was the reason for getting different pads to start with).  I talked to Paul, and he said I should use the Z+ pads.  He had the Z+ pads sent out to me.  They once again were the wrong ones for my bike.  I sent them back and FINALLY got the correct pads.  They work great. 
I'm not a novice to these pads.  I've used them for the past couple years on my '01 Heritage Softail.  -Love 'em.

The reason for this post is to try to save others from the frustration I went through in finally getting what I should have had in the first place.  Their web site doesn't even mention the Brembo brakes so you need to double check by phone that you are getting the correct ones for your bike.

When I received the last order of pads, I thought I had the wrong pads again!  They said they were for a V-Rod!
-Turns out that they also fit my bike. 

I think the company could do a better job of straightening out this confusion by updating their web site.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with others who have commented about how great Paul is to deal with.  They truly have a great product.

What is the right pads (Z+) for '08 CUSE ?

[Steve_G]

The info for my '08 SE USE rear brake pads:


The invoice from Lyndall Racing Brakes shows part number 7254 Z-Plus Brake Pads for 06 V-ROD STREET ROD with New Brembo Rear

I only replaced my rear brake pads at this point.  My front stock ones don't squeal and seem to work fine.

You can see from the info I just listed why there is so much confusion.

[1711tab]

Just wondering how many are using the Lyndall Z Pads & do they really make much difference when still using the stock calipers. I read somewhere they stop you 10% quicker than stock pads. Any comments would be appreciated.

There a great pad and they compare in pricing to the HD stock pads but are a better compound which eliminate dust and stop quicker IMHO...

What's the difference between the Z pad and the Gold pad? Which should a guy get?

[49445CVO]

most of us are running the Z pads.  The Gold pads are more of a high heat competition pad and some have said that they have a slight squealing with them. I too questioned if the Z's were good then the Gold must be better.  I was talked out of doing that and saved a few bucks and bought the Z pads (3).  It is true about cutting down on road grime and break dust.  There is hardly any dust on my rims ever since the change.

Hope this helps,

Topper

[grc]

What's the difference between the Z pad and the Gold pad? Which should a guy get?

Both versions are a carbon/Kevlar material which is easy on rotors and much cleaner and less noisy than the stock pads.  Lyndall's website makes a case for the different versions, basically if you're running stock tires and chassis they recommend the Z pad, and if you've upgraded tires and suspension and tend to ride aggressively they recommend the G pad.

My personal recommendation for normal riding on a Harley would be the Z pad, and that's what I use.  They are very easy on the rotors, very quiet, produce hardly any dust compared to the stock pads, and they have a nice linear feel that makes modulating the brakes much easier than with stock pads.  This is something I found to be very important on my non-ABS bike, maybe folks with ABS won't think it's as important.  The G pads are a little closer to their racing formula, and tend to have a little higher maximum braking capability.  Like any "racing" product, there are tradeoffs.  Face it, if there were no tradeoffs then they wouldn't sell the Z version.  Other folks have reported that the G doesn't work as well cold, and I remember one person stating they were a little noisier than the Z.

Hopefully some of the guys who tried the Gold pads in the past will chime in.  I know some didn't like them and went back to the Z version, but I'm also sure some will recommend them.  Try giving the guys at Lyndall a call and ask them for their honest opinion based on your bike and riding style.  They seem like some straight shooters.
