Brake Pad Replacement


I'm ordering Lyndall Z Plus pads for the Heritage. I've studied
the service manual and searched this site the best I can.
( Did see caliper maintainence Glider posted. ) I've never
changed brakes and would really like to know a little more
before I get into this. For instance everything I can read talks
about pistons but , if you've never seen one .......
Is there any site ya'll know of with a few more pictures ?
No , not that kind of pictures
Thanks.

Re: Brake Pad Replacement

If you are doing work on your bike, it's recommended that you have the HD factory manual before starting anything. It will give you a pretty good idea of how to R&R brakes on the bike. Clean the pistons like you saw in that post.

Re: Brake Pad Replacement

Thanks Glider . The manual I referred to is the service
manual. Someone as new to this as I am would be totally
lost without it.
Thanks again.

Re: Brake Pad Replacement

I installed the Lyndal Gold pads on my 06 XL883L (by myself), took about 45min. and I'm very happy with the results.

Re: Brake Pad Replacement


Thanks Again ,
The photos were better than any I've found.
Glad you are happy with your Lyndall pads Angel
but you'd have to know me -- It takes me more
than 45 minutes to open the package
Ride safe.

Re: Brake Pad Replacement

Is there a +/- on Lyndal pads compares to HD pads?. I need a rear set for mine soon.

Everything I can read about Lyndall pads sugest they are easier
on the rotors, wear longer , and have no dust. I'm a newbie so you
should consider the source but either the large majority of forum
members recommend Lyndall or there is one h*ll of a marketing
conspiracy

Only +'s , no dust (big plus with wire spoke wheels) quieter and much better breaking.
