Yeah, that's the ones I got.....BLM777 recommended them to me awhile back and I'm finally bought 'em today.  I don't hurry into some of these things.  Har! [smiley=drink.gif]  spyder

Nothing wrong w/that I'm not getting them until I need them. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] I could probably buy a couple pieces of chrome before they will be needed. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Well, Brian, I've finally worn out my stock pads and bought the Lyndall pads for my front brakes....gonna just try that and hope to be satisfied.  :-? If not, I'll be contacting you for a [highlight]ballpark total[/highlight] on the Brembo ' up-grade'.  Har!   spyder

Spyder, to get a ballpark estimate for the Brembos, take one $h!t-pile, add a crap load, and divide by too much. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Have heard good things about Lyndall pads from several that have used them.  Another possible consideration is DP.  I've had them on the red bike since new.  Just changed the backs with over 20k on them and after getting them off realized it wasn't really necessary yet.  Still had close to 20% of the pad left.  They brake very well, never fade, are very very good about not leaving much dust behind and seem to last nearly forever.

Are the DP pads the 'stock' MoCo pads that come on our bikes?  My rear brakes have 40K on them and still have plenty of life left (of course, I  use the rear brakes sparingly)   spyder

Now they're not Spyder.  DP and Lyndall are both significant improvement over stock pads.  I tend to use the rear brake a fair amount.  For me having a set of rear pads that will have lasted 25K is a good bit better than what stock pads would have done.  The longevity is hardly a consideration compared to the other things though.  They do brake better and do so without fade and they churn up much much less brake dust.

Yeah, Seems as if I remember you using/or not using the rear brakes once while rubber-necking some honeys walking down the road in bikinis......just what was the deal on that episode, any way?  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] har!   spyder

That was a long time ago.  Hadn't thought about it in some time   .  Problem there wasn't so much the use or misuse of brakes but the watching of girls instead of watching of road.  The equation would've been something like this:

Where TA = Girls Walking From Creek and Flashing Motorcycle Rider

And RB = Red Bike

And UUC = Unnoticed Upcoming Curve

And OS = OH chit

(RB+TA)/UUC=OS

That's a hazard that many more of us than just the RB face on a frequent basis... ...especially at the major rallys.  [smiley=nervous.gif] har!  [smiley=drink.gif] spyder

spyder,

I seriously doubt that H-D uses the DP pads 2-lane was talking about.  Just based on the amount of brake dust generated by the stock pads, not to mention the actual braking performance, I would have to say no.  BTW - the current part numbers for our bikes are DP-957 (DP918 previous number, not sure what the difference is), and LR7195Z for the Lyndall's.  Similar in price, with the main difference being the DP's are sintered metal and the Lyndall's are carbon/Kevlar.  The DP's also use a ceramic coating between the pad and caliper piston to reduce heat transfer to the fluid, which should improve fade resistance under extreme use.

The difference between the DP918 and the DP957 is small.  The 957 is correct for 05 and newer bikes due to some small lengthening of the pad surface.  You can still use the 918s on 05 and newer though if you happen to have them.  I used 918s when the bike was new as the 957s didn't exist yet.  Put the 957s on the rear this time.  Holding them side by side you can see a difference.  But you see it and you think "that little difference was worth a manufacturing change?".

Thanks Jerry.  That's the part # on the Lyndalls I got (with the exception that '[highlight]plus[/highlight]' is added to the end of the #.  Hope that's not a problem.  I'll give 'um a try and hope for the best.  I've heard that[highlight] longevity [/highlight]is the downside to the carbon/kevlar.    [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  spyder
