Howdy folks, when I pull into someplace on my cycle I’d like for people to turn and look at my bike because it’s nice, not because of whirl-squeal-squeal-whirl-squeal-squeal.
This next payday I plan on getting rid of my cheap-a$$ brake pads and buying a couple sets of lyndall brake pads from D.P. (good prices).
My question is this, should I get the gold or the Z’s.
Is there really a difference? I know you have to season/break-in the gold pads.
Does anyone prefer one over the other, if so why? Thanks.

I just got the Z pads. They are the best choice. Put them on and zip silent. I did clean up my rotors with 180 grit to remove all left over from old pads. I had squeal and more before. Now silent. I do not know about Gold pads but you will not go wrong with Z.... After installing them right off the Start great!

Unless you race, or have a very very high perf application, or, your brakes like my 6 piston PM fronts only come with gold as an option, go with the Z-pad they are for the street, and don't require break in like the gold pads.

Thanks HRK and S.N., I heard good reports on both pads, I was just wondering what the real difference was, no break-in sounds good to me. I am SOOOO tired of that squeal/squeek, and I have got to do something about it. I would love to get them 6-piston P.M. calipers but, there way out of my budget.

Well yeah but with a single caliper on the front of the heritage I had to have plenty of stopping power, running my HP you got to be able to stop!

you only got to get the thing slowed down enough to pitch it in..stoppin's too much like work.....
