    Anybody have experience with these branded brake pads?
    Put them in this morning, half the price of genuine.
    I’ve only ever used genuine hd pads on my FLHT, so I’m curious to know. Thanks in advance.

    Never heard of them tbh.  I normally run genuine pads cause they are well priced and last a while.

    If I am in a generous mood I'll buy Lyndall Gold pads which are the bees knees!

    I used them many years ago on a Jap bikes.
    They used to be called Dunlopad - made in England.
    Can't say what they are like now, but they should work !

    It says made in England on the packaging. 
    Seem to feel ok so far.

    Some pads are a bit too harsh on discs, worth keeping an eye on the wear characteristics, pads are cheaper than discs, even if they are of the dusty kind, the sky ain't falling, just an observation.

    Over the last 30 years I will have tried all types of Harley brake pads , "genuine HD" and aftermarket.
    In the olden days of my Jap bike period (1975 to 1995) I have used Dunlopad with no dramas.

    Back in the EVO days of the mid to late 90's I found out that aftermarket pads costing 50% of new genuine price lasted exactly 50% of the K's once fitted. A false economy it seemed.

    One of my riding mates recently put eBay cheepies into his 2015 Fatbob that he bought new and fuck me dead they lasted 50% of the K's as original pads. Fatbob has twin disc front of course. I had prewarned him of that likely outcome but WTF he did it anyway !

    In more recent times I have used Vesrah (bought from a Yamaha shop in the east who were destocking "old" Vesrah HD pads for $30)
    Lyndall and most recently Ferodo.

    Ferodo because one of the local Indy shops had them on the shelf and Lyndall seemed to be both harder to source in Perth WA AND expensive, plus I needed the pads "today" as you often do. The Ferodo seem to brake as well as the Lyndall.

    I have both Vesrah front and Lyndall front and rear pads on the shelf now. Several mates have them done by me.

    Bendix are also now making motorbike pads ( manufactured locally in Ballarat ! )
    They appear to be $70 per caliper .
    No idea how good they are, but I hope they are decent .
