+1000 on the Lydalls Z pads Gold, they are the best Ive ever used. Almost no dust, and Im like drew, use my front brake to stop slot, and I got Polished rotors now, so gotta keep them clean also.
EBC or original for me. Lots of people like the Lyndall but I could never get a set that did not squeak. They even sent another pair but they were not any better. Installed a new rotor but that did not help put a new set from the dealership on and no more squeak.
I had the same problem. They wound up sending me 2 or 3 sets of pads and they all sqeaked. I tried filing the edges and disc brake quiet spray to no avail. I finally spoke to a guy at Lyndalls (can't remember his name) and he sent me a bottle of yellow stuff (like thick glue). I brushed it on the back of the pads and it worked great. No squeak.
Thanks everyone for your business. I have read a lot about the pads squeaking in the newer bagger with the Brembo calipers but had never heard of it in a softail. What was the yellow goo you used?
Probably "Disk brake quiet". I have never ran wide white walls so the dust really hasn't been that much of an issue. Lyndall folks seem to be stand up guys though...
