I installed lyndalls on my bike and broke them in like instructed.. I had a good bit of deposits from the old pads..

My front is stopping good and buzzing like I know they should..

The rear seem weak really week? Should they buzz like the front as well... still a good bit of deposit on the rear brake disk.. Could the pads have glazed over?

Is there a way to fix them so I can rebrake in the rear disk..

People have complained about the rear brake on Buells for years. Some desire more bite but I think they are engineered to be on the light side.

That was one of the reasons I went to lyndals I didn't like the how strong the old brake bit...

I want the same stopping power but not bite.. I'm not getting that now..


Bikes apart putting some Crossroads bars on...

my friend said very light sanding the pad will do the trick. I'll give it shot tomorrow after I finish the bars..
