I'm replacing the rear brakes on my 2010 TG and was wondering if Lyndall Brakes are worth the money. If anyone has opinions, I'm curious. Thanks

I've always been pleased with the lyndalls.
EBC, Double H Have them on my 11 T/G.... I lost track of how many miles I have on them probably 3 times the miles than with the stock ones...
DP Brakes
Jray, Lyndal makes great brake pads, but just yesterday I was reading an article in American Iron regarding changing brake pads on a Softail Harley. I realize you're not riding a Softail, but this company likely makes a pad for our trikes, too. And at $39.95 a set they're not too bad.
This article says DP brake pads won't make any noise, don't create any dust getting your wheels messy, and they last three times longer than stock brake pads as they have a ceramic heat shield that significantly reduces heat build up. Worth a look?

I installed ceramic Lyndall Z-Plus brake pads on my softail (2-wheeler). I bought them to eliminate brake dust (on my spokes) which they do. They have 8K miles on them so far, and they are barely worn.
However, I get minor squealing when I stop. Some people (not me) might care about things like that.
If I even need new pads again, I'd buy another set. In my opinion, they're worth the premium price. ThumbUp

0pini0nated, I'm curious, or maybe better stated nosy, how much were the Lyndall pads you bought?
Thanks, Phu Cat

Thanks for the input everyone. I have decided to go with the EBC Brakes, more because Lyndall is too busy to call back and I can get the EBC's on Amazon Prime, have them here Tuesday!
12/2012, I paid $49 + shipping, direct from Lyndall

I've only heard good things about EBC. Too bad for Lyndall that they were too busy for you. For the last several years I've got my Lyndall pads from Drew at Hogpro...great service.

I'm happy to exchange information, experiences, prices, sources, etc.
That's what the FORUM is all about ThumbUp

Thanks everyone. I failed to say Im doing REAR brakes, the EBC were a bust. EBC doesn't carry a rear rotor (at least not that I can find online) and I want to buy the pads and rotors at the same time from the same manufacturer. Can you email me the contact info at Hogpro, Lyndall STILL has not gotten back to me. jray1952@yahoo.com

According to EBC's catalog and Amazon.com, these are the REAR Rotor and Pads needed:

and

I offer no guarantees, I'm trying to get the Lyndall's through Hogpro. Good Luck.

I don't know that I've ever emailed Hogpro, I know I've never ordered off their website.
I call and ask for Drew, he comes on the phone and takes care of whatever needs I have or directs me to someone that will. I have been very happy with his service.

The rotor pictured is not the correct one, and the pads pictured are not the correct pads.
The part number for the rear pads seems to be correct https://www.denniskirk.com/ebc/double-h-sintered-metal-brake-pads.p1907269.prd/1907269.sku.
It looks like there are 2 different styles of EBC rears to choose from https://www.denniskirk.com/ebc/semi-sintered-v-brake-pads.p1907268.prd/1907268.sku.
One thing I noticed is they seem to come with the pins and clips, not a bad deal if they do come that way. I know Lyndall doesn't ship the rear pads with pins and clips, and Harley Davidson prices them like they are made of gold.

Great, thank you!
Eastern Performance has good pricing at Times.
Not to many have rotors except Lyndall and yes they are hard to get a hold of at times.Also if you want to go higher in price and buy a whole new kit there is Performance Machine.
I have a set of the Lyndall rotors and found out they are floating rotors and real lite weight. Took them off before I sold the trike.

Yes the EBC pads DID come with pins and clips. Have put 3k on them and no issues so far. That is about 1k of mountain riding in there.
Good to know, I'm thinking of trying them out on my dad's Tiglide the next time he needs new pads. He's on his 2nd set of Lyndall's. The Lyndall's work good, I think the EBC pads are a more bang for the dollar. Looking at the set on Dennis Kirk's site it looks like they are $69.95 for a set which contains pads to do both sides plus the pins and clips, where the Lyndall golds are $134.95 for pads to do both sides with no pins and clips, that's steep.
That picture on Amazon is incorrect, but the part number is correct for the EBC pads for the FLHTCUTG.
The rotor is part number for an Ultra glide. Incorrect for the Tri Glide Ultra.
My question is, why are you changing out the rotors ? Bad wear or grooved badly? Quite spendy if not needed.....

Mike, I think you will like the EBC HH pads. I do get a bit of dust off them on the wheels, but that is a slight trade off for great brakes! I sure like mine. Only on the rear right now but front will follow when needed.
They have the highest friction rating in the market. Also at their price if they don't last as long as Lyndell ceramic they don't tend to be so hard on the rotors either.
A high friction rating is a good reason for using them, they may stop better than the Lyndall's. I figure maybe next winter he will be ready for some new rear pads.

Well, turns out EBC doesn't make the rotors for the rear end on my 2010 TriGlide. I went with Lyndall's and it did take almost 2 months to get them but it was over the holiday season so I lived with it.
Now, the problem I have is the bolts I have are too long for the parts they sent. Has anyone else had this problem? Did Lyndall provide you new bolts or did you have to go out and buy your own or was there maybe some spacers that they forgot to ship? I did call and leave word with them but they were gone to the races over the week end and haven't heard back yet. Thought I might get a quicker answer on here.:xzqxz:

Yep..I cut my bolts to the correct length..They should have ship also with the rotors some new plates with two holes in them.. Sounds like they did the same thing to you as they did me..
Make sure the rotor fits over the wheel hub..I had issues with that too and they sent me a new set with free brake pads..
