    Hello:
    My 2005 Road King Classic needs rear brakes. I'm thinking of putting either EBC Kevlar Or EBC Sintered pads on.If anybody has any comments or experience with either on my selections your comments would be helpful.I'm worried about excessive rotor wear and brake dust (wide white walls). My front brake pads are stock.Thanks in advance.

    EBC are good pads too however I run Lyndall and they don't dust up things like
    stock HD and they don't squeak last longer too.

    Go with the Lyndall Z pads and not the Gold version. The Golds tend to grab a bit harder which you probably don't want on the rear end. I would also suggest switching out both front and rear, you won't regret it.

    golds are the racing version and require the standard breakin procedures

    the Zpads are bolt n go pads and are very good.

    I took your advice and ordered the Lyndall pads for my '06 Ultra and man am I glad I did. Stock pads were squealling like crazy and driving me nuts. I love these new pads! A nice quiet stop now! Thanks!!

    I agree go the Lyndals'.............over here in Oz we went to the trouble of importing them. No squeal, no dust and work a treat.

    I have been using EBC sintered for a couple of years on my customers and my personal Electra Glide, the 400HH fit most late models, quick bed in and very low dust,and no noise.

    If you don't have the money for the Lyndall git the EBC's they are good pads.
    Bee real care when you 1st use Lyndall brakes.

    If you want to go past that git some new Brembo brake calipers.:)
