Common questions

Are these front or rear brake pads?

Brake pad fitment can vary by caliper location. Please check your bike's specific caliper type and location, as well as the pad dimensions, against the FA181X part number to confirm if it is suitable for your front or rear application.

Do these brake pads require bedding-in?

Yes, all new brake pads, including EBC standard compounds, require a proper bedding-in procedure. This involves a series of progressive stops from light to moderate pressure to correctly seat the friction material onto the rotor surface before engaging in hard braking.

Will these fit my specific Harley or Indian model?

These EBC FA181X pads are designed for various V-twin motorcycles. To ensure precise compatibility, we recommend verifying the pad dimensions against your existing pads or consulting your bike's service manual before ordering.

Better than OEM

I installed these on my 2015 Harley Davidson Road King since it was making a terrible metallic grinding noise, the rear pads were very worn. I changed all the brake pads and braking power increased and there's no more noise. That's what I love most.

Very Dissapointed

Poor quality, not what I expected. Actual pad material looks unfinished on the edges. You can hear the pads "clunk" the first time you apply them rolling back and the first time you apply them going forward. Last but not least ...they squeak.<br />Taking them out and going back to OE pads.<br />Installed on a 2014 Street Glide Special front only.

2014 Harley Road King

Put these on to replace the ones that came on the bike as those were making an awful squealing noise. These have been great with no noise what so ever and no breaking power issues what so ever.
