    I am going to replace brakes on my E-Glide standard..... would like to replace them with Lyndall Z pads. Are the packages for them for more then one brake??? (how many do I need to get....1 package for entire bike, or 3 packages as I think there are 3 rotors?! Thanks

    well, looks like I answered my own quesiton.....3 rotars, 3 SETS..... Kinda figured this, but was looking for confirmation.... looked on ebay, found the discription roters=sets, much more clear then Lydall themselves!!! Either way, I have 3 sets ordered now....and will see about having the rear done when I change out my rear tire due to this D&am San Antonio construction and their nails....8.5K on a tire..LOTS of meat left...and I catch a nail.....so patch or replace...maybe the answer is YES....put on a new, have the old patched for future?? any thoughts?

    Patch or replace?

    Well if you're gonna do that Iron Butt run...replace it before you do...ya don't want a bad tire keeping you from getting it. And Mr Murphy would be sure that the tire went South AFTER you had put at least 90% of the miles in......

    it would depend on where the nail hole is located and the damage to the inside of the tire. if it was a clean, in/out with no internal damage, i would patch it, from the inside. if anything other than that, or a gut suspision, put on new.....just my opinion. one other reason i say this is i keep a pluging kit and pump in my saddle bags at all times. i run tubless tires and would not hesitate to plug a tire to get me off the road to facilitate a proper repair, or replacment.

    Chuck, I whole heartedly agree..... The nail is still IN the tire...in the meat of the tread, just off center (so I would drive on it when making a nice right hand sweep). I would LOVE to use a plugging kit, but have NO idea of how to use it...have looked at the instructions once or twice, and it confused me as much as I understood....guess I am one of those 'show me" learners. I am thinking about replacing the tire with new. Then having the old one assessed for patch from inside to keep around as an "oh sh!t" replacement....still looks to have MUCH tread life left......
