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....

....but cost a small fortune!

Hoist!

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.

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.

Thanks to share your knowledge

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?

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'm just sayin'

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?
