How are those DP's? I have been thinking of changing the stockers to them but I haven't heard anything about them. They say almost no dust; is that true?

I switched to Lyndall Z plus pads earlier this year. I haven't had them long enough to comment on their longevity vs the stock pads, but there certainly is less brake dust. SJ Ron

If you want something less expensive, you might check out EBC pads. I have them on front on one of my sporties, work better than the stock ones did.

I put the Lyndall Z on my Kinger and so far am not happy with the dust on my wheels, a lot more than the moco's.

...can you attest to all of this? First I've ever even heard of DP - I currently run the Lyndall Z's and while they do throw a lot less rear brake dust than the stock pads, I still gotta clean that damn white wall in the rear once a week or so if I ride every day. I'm incredibly interested in doing that job less often so if they really live up to all the claims, I want to know.
I wouldn't claim that there's no dust or noise but I will say that there's less than stock, Lyndall, or EBC. I really haven't kept track of how many miles I put on them but I just ordered a new set this morning and I don't plan on switching brands as long as they continue to make them the way that they do now.
