Wondering about brake pads?????

[zif...@my-deja.com]

Does anyone know of another brand of brake pads for our Victory's other
than what Victory is providing? I'd like to try another brand if
they're out there.

+I don't believe the aftermarket has caught up to the Victory yet
Arnie. I'll bet there's a compatible pad due to the Brembo make, but
the market doesnt' yet bear the knowledge...

Ride on.

> Thanks.....that's what I suspected but I've gotten used to
the "surging" enough where I just let off the front brake just before
stopping at a light or stop sign so it doesn't jerk me. In a need to
do a "fast stop", the pads still grab well so I don't figure it to be a
safety issue. One of these days someone else will have the pads
besides Victory and I'll get to see if it makes a difference. I think
the Victory pads are glazing....causing the surging. Many would not
have this problem but I'm so used to using "much" front brake due to
being accustomed to stopping the weight of a Gold Wing and I take that
habit with me when I hop on the Vic.
Ride alert,
