I put new brake pads on the front, I did the back quite a while ago.
I went with Lyndall Z Plus, they are supposed to be dustless. The big solid wheel is pourus, and really sucks up the bake dust, very hard to get clean.
These were the origianal pads, I have 23,375 miles on them, they were pretty low, the wear groves are non-existant.

Bruh. I got like 9000miles out of my front brake pads.
Keeping mine in case I decided to sell or trade in the bike, i.e. revert back to the original floorboards and sell the custom ones.
That is exactly what I do with all OEM parts,
I keep them and when the bike is sold I reassemble them, when you sell the bike, it is rare that you can calculate the added value of aftermarket parts.
When you sell them separately, these aftermarket parts are easier to sell and have a better value than OEM parts.
After some advice and help....
On either side of the swinging arm are black plastic grommets - I'm guessing these can be removed and used as an alternate location for the passenger pegs
...but how do you remove them?
Are they press fit or screwed in?
Here's a pic to show the location on one side of the bike.
TIA

I used a pair of needle nose pliers to get them out of the peg mount points so I could install my Crashbar.
Also your bike wont have the upper mounting locations if its 2018 model year. It was in 2019 that the Breakout and Fat Boy got upper peg mount locations. For some reason in the 2018MY, they used a different structure for those under seat struts.
Right side can't use the upper hole either because of the exhaust, which is why the exhaust hanger has a mounting point on it.

Thanks Fran
Mines a 2019MY
No issue with clearance on either side for the pegs (exhaust side not an issue with the shortshots)
Just finding them an absolute PITA to try and remove.
So they should just pull out right?

I had to fight with them but yeah. I pulled the frame plugs out with needle nose.
If you have a sharp pocket knife, you can stab the center and make another grip point to grab at them.
