That's a fact. Put Brembos on my '02 EG WOW what a difference. went with the Lyndall's with the change. They're good too.

I ran the Lyndal's on my Victory with billet wheels.. Definatly made a difference in brake dust, I couldn't tell a difference in stopping power which was all I was looking for. The billets looked good when they were clean and those pads made things alot easier.

That has not been my experience. The Lyndalls do better than the stock pads on my bike.

Put the Lyndalls Z on the rear and couldn't stand the squealing (worse than a freight train)after 2k and took them off. They made my rotor look like it had been polished. Put the stock Brembos back on and the rotors now look like new again and no more squeal. Just my experience with them.

May be an "08" thing. I put Lyndall Z pads on my 08 and they squealed worse than the stock pads and did not stop as well. Put the stock pads back on with some high temp silicone on the back and got rid of the squeal.

Not on my '08, the Lyndalls seem to stop better with less dust.

I first installed the Lyndall Gold pads and they weren't worth a damn. I switched to Z-Plus and they work great.
