Having spent considerable time and effort finding out how to make my FXDX go faster, I reckoned I ought to put some thought into making it stop better.

Whilst the front brake does work, it's not exactly impressive - especially for a twin disc, 4-piston set-up.

And because I'm tight, I thought I'd start with the brake pads. As with engine modifications, lack of choice is not really an issue, with brake pads offered by Brembo, SBS and EBC to name a few.

So here's my first question - who made the OEM pads back in 2002 and who makes them now? I don't want to buy a 'different' set of pads only to find out that they're exactly what I've already got - only this time wearing the original manufacturer's brand rather than Harley's.

What I desperately need is real life information about what works best.

I need your help here! What are your experiences?
