Started using Lyndalls a bunch of years ago on my old Springer. They were recommended to me when I bought polished rotors. Worked great, so I have used them after market since. They just 'feel' better and seem to last longer. Worth the money.

#7254's for the front and #7255's for the rear, double check those numbers with Paul or Jim. You also might want to think about having Paul cross drill and chamfer your rear rotors as I've done along with Icebite. Big difference, Lyndall will also be coming out shortly with composite rear rotors for our Tri's. I should be testing a set in the near future and will post the results.

Buddy, What do you mean when you say that you're going to "cross drill the rotors"?

Im not Buddy but cross drill refers to the pattern of drill holes.

Probably a dumb question, but why are there two brake calipers?

No question is dumb. What you are seeing, top caliper (PM) is my main rear brakes and the lower forward caliper is now just the parking brakes. I no longer am having problems with the parking brakes or squeaky brakes, I need the P brakes for when riding on the ferry's around here and we do have a lot hills that we have to park on.
