    Hello all, I have a mate who wants to run sintered front brake pads on his ‘18 street bob.
    He tells me he’s having a hard time locating some.
    Any suggestions/help?

    Used EBC on my Guzzi's , a few of them , They worked well on those steel stopppers.
    I'd go with them no problemo.

    EBC are a common brand I have used over the years.  I prefer Lyndall Pads nowadays as they are dust free.
    Why Sintered?  who said they were the best type? they can be noisey.

    His idea, not mine. Plus he’s computer illiterate.
    I don’t like ‘em myself. I’ve seen what they do to rotors over a long period of time.
    He’s not impressed with the braking power of his front end.

    LOL....Its a harley; he need to lower his expectations!
    I did find a massive improvement in braking on both my bikes when i went with Russell or Braided brake lines.  The OEM ones are shocking for expansion!  Just grab the front hose and pull in the brake lever...you should feel the hose expand which is piss poor!.
