What kind of trouble? Mushy feeling (yes), squeal all the time (yes). I've just ordered Lyndall's new rear brake pads #7255 $59 for the '09 -'10 Tri-Glides. Hopefully these will help improve thing. I'll know in a couple of weeks.

When you ordered did you ask them if you get a price break since your a member of HDForums? I see they have a HDForums link on their website.

Ya "know" I didn't even think to ask. I'll have too remember to ask if I order the pads for the front. If I'm happy with the rears I will order a couple pairs for the front.

Click on our photos or something like that -

I was able to take 3 pictures of the used, rear brake pads taken off our TriGlide during 20K+ maintenance in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory - August 4, 2009...

I remember seeing those pictures and commenting you had some mile left, you guys did good with biasing the front and rear brake when stopping. There are a lot of folks who just stomp on the rear brake and hardly use the front. The front brake is 75% of your stopping power.
