My guess is the paste/brake pad kit is for 2008+ TC and M8.
Here is the paste and template on a pad before I pealed it off.

I can’t complain, they have always treated me good.
Depends how much they are making off of the tire and the mounting charge. I mean I get it they are already pulling the wheel off.

I bought drag pads,but have not installed yet for 2015. I don't remember them coming with anything. I'll check manual.

I usually use lyndale or Harley

Final bill was the same as the quote for the tires (which were on sale) and install. I was expecting to have an additional charge, but no, they told me not to worry about it. And I haven’t.

You can change Rear Pads on the 2000-07 1-piece caliper/brkt without removing axle/wheel/caliper. It's in the FSM ... but 2-piece is easier

I seen those on Dennis Kirk’s website. Definitely a economical way to go.

They're not an economy pad. They are probably one of the best pads on the market.... got them on Amazon and delivered in 2 days.. I've been using the Double H sintered on 3 bikes for about 8 years

Very true, and the best cold bite of any pad on the market.
