Certainly depends on riding style. I am not happy with them on the rear of my 08UC. Reduced stopping power compared to stock pads. Going back to stock on next change. Did read of others having the same issue with those pads on brembos but only after install. It's not so bad that it cannot wait till next change.

I have them in combination with floating rotors on the Night Train. Love 'em. I've got around 11,000 miles on them, and both look like they'll go quite a bit longer. I'll be putting the same combination on the Limited next week.

They should last a long time because they don't hold worth a crap on my 08. Stock pads were much better. Was trying to get rid of the squeal when I changed to them and they didn't help there either.

From what I understand Lyndal Z pads are great pads if you have Lyndal rotors. My stock OEM Brembo pads are less expensive and seem to work quite well. No planned upgrades to Lyndal which I considered early on with the 2008 brake squeal problem that the MotorCo finally adressed after going to the Brembo braking system.
