Really liked my PM's with the Lyndal pads...great feel on both front and rear, but I also replaced the rear line with a complete braided stainless.  Two finger fronts, and just a touch on the rear when needed.

I had the dual differential bore 4 pistons on front and one 4 on the rear.  No brackets needed for the front, and they look good.  Had the Brembo's on the V and they are also great.

But I'm a suspension and brake guy, even over HP/TQ...If you can't turn or stop when you want to, all the HP in the world ain't going to do any good, so that's first on my list.

HeHe!!! I want em all first on my list Terry! ;D ;)

Having it all is the best of all worlds, Howie!!  I just didn't quite make it there, but I could hold my own in the mountains, even without the engine mods, and I was never really pushing it... ;)  I just used the shifter a bit more, buddy...

Nancy,Chip, & Tommy were trying their best to get me to stop using the brake & use more gears!

Sadunbar was correct i was referencing the stock Brembos which the motor company is using. I have never tried Brembos from the after market sector so I have no input about that topic. But the PM's with LRB pads and rotors are a hot ticket for those of us who want to save a few bucks an still have significantly  upgraded  stopping power......Last I heard the top of the line Brembos are about 3 grand installed if some one knows different pass along the info please..........

Im no expert on the subject but my dealer says that the stock Brembos on the 08's are not much better than the HD brakes before with the exception of the anti-lock.  He recommends going with aftermarket Brembos or PM clinchers for better stopping, I run LRB pads in the stock calipers and their floating rotors and have had no problem with fade or lack of brakes

sleepy:

IMO, after riding several '07 and '06 Ultras, the stock '08 Brembo non-ABS braking system improves braking performance 100%!  Having several hundred miles on an ''06 CVO Ultra, it did have excellent brakes.  But with the standard Ultras, the new Brembo standard system is a tremendous improvement!

If you tested the front brakes on 25 different '07 Ultras, they would have 25 different braking feel and effectiveness.  Have to respectfully disagree with your dealer!
