Default need advice on brake pads

I'm going in for my 15K service and wantto take advantage of replacing the pads now and have heard of new types of pads that are "dustless". This would be great to minimize brake squeak as well as keeping my whitewalls cleaner. Can anyone recommend a pad type and whereot get them. My dealer wasn't much help other than going to stock Harley pads.

I will echo the previous responders. The Lyndall pads, either the Gold pads or the Z-pads, will out perform the stock HD pads. (No dust, no squeal, quicker stops.) Be sure to run through their install instructions and remove the old break dust and deposits that have collected on the calipers pistons, and the rotor.

Good luck with it.
