You are always the man Randy when it comes to videos like this!!! I don’t own a Harley and I even watched!!!
Appreciate it brother! Not much riding with all the rain.
@Goofy Bastard, I agree
Outstanding DIY video Randy. Sintered pads are a great upgrade. As a rule of thumb, I do replace the retainer pin each time I service the breaks. This video will help many folks out. Eric
Thanks Eric! I agree why not replace the pad pin and retaining clip. Better safe than sorry. Take care✌
Thanks that's a really great how to video. I had the brake calipers off my Road King today for putting Legend Axeo's in the front forks now I'm going to have to check my bike to make sure I have the ABS sensor on the proper way.
I love my Legend Suspension! Glad I could help and thanks for watching✌️
Thanks for sharing this video Randy. I also change my brake pads and have no issue doing it. I often get asked why I do it and is it safe. My answer is I like to SAVE money and if you take your time and follow this process, all is good. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
You and me both and I like the piece of mind knowing it was done right. Thanks for watching Rick! Hope you are doing well.
@@SinisterClutch You bet. 👍👊🇺🇸
Hey Randy great video on brake pad change. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks Mike!
Thanks for the video. Im leaving on my bike in april to take a solo trip around the US for 5-6 months visiting tik tok followers & friends. So im getting my bike ready. I never did the back brakes before. But i know i can do it. I will also change my oil today. The tranny fluid & primary fluid only have about 2000 miles on it so im not gonna worry about that before this trip. If i end up riding and excessive number of miles, i can change that shit at a friends house. No biggie. I did my front brakes a month ago. and got a new rear tire. But it's back brakes & oil change today. Ill take the front wheel off next weekend to take in and get a new tire. And I'm ordering new speakers for the front fairing because I blew one out a few weeks ago. Gotta have music for this ride. But I should be ready to go on an adventure of a lifetime. Again, Thanks for the video. It's all I needed to know. 🤘✌️
I never tried those pads from EDC. I might have to give it a try. I do my own brakes as well and just always used the Harley pads. Looks like you had at least another 10-15k miles left on your old brakes, ship them to me 😂. Just kidding!! Great how to video 👍🏾.
Yeah I still had some mileage but the squeaking drove me crazy. Plus I got a 5K+ trip coming up. Appreciate you watching brother. Take care 🤙
You make it look so easy. Well done
A second person would help 😂😂. Thanks!!
@@SinisterClutch I totally get that. When I lifted my tank I used a couple of soda bottles to hold it up, a second person would have helped
That brake bleed kit looks familiar! Thats a pretty nifty brake fluid tester you gots there fella! It would tell me that I'm not using any brake fluid by now! lol
Great vid!
Your brake fluid is probably like pudding 🤣😂.
@@SinisterClutch your tool would probably tell me I have to much brake fluid in my water! 😂
Very nice video I will be replacing my pads this week!
If you have any questions let me know
Great video. Thanks for the torque specs also. I have a ‘15 ultra Classic so I’ll have to check if they’re the same.
They should be the same but for sure check the manual. Hope the video helps. Take care and enjoy the ride 🤙
Excellent demonstration Randy👍👍
Thanks John! Appreciate you watching ✌️
great video bro...thank you for this i think i can do this job myself now...
Glad I could help! Appreciate you watching. If you have any questions let me know. Take care ✌
Well done sir I couldn’t do that lol 😂. I can fly a drone around it while you’re doing all the work lol 😂
I need a drone. Being looking at the DJI and Skydio 2
The wear on the pads obviously was caused from riding “blow up “ or it’s just me??🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video brother
😂😂🤣 probably so.
Nicely done Randy, lot's of good details on changing out the front and rear brake's, I'm glad you did this video brother, it will definitely help other folk's out that are considering to do there own brake job, and the EBC brake pads I installed on my Tri Glide are definitely way better than the Harley one's, good video brother💯👊🏽😎
Appreciate it 💪👊. If I can do it anyone can 🤣😂. So far the EBC are great and hope they last long like they are supposed to. We have plenty of miles to test them. Ready to ride brother 🤙
@@SinisterClutch Me too brother, like right now lol💯👊🏽😎
Bonjournice to meet you.Love it! splendid edition-farewell~
Thanks! Appreciate you watching 🤙🤙
Thanks. I need to replace the brake pads and brake fluids on my H-D FXSE Pro Street CVO and FXSB
I have a video on the brake fluid as well. My bike has ABS so it’s a little different. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and enjoy the ride✌️
Got it... Will check it out.
Very good video . Thanks
Appreciate you watching and commenting. Take care ✌️
Good video! Proably good to mention to use DOT5 Silcone brake fluid on your Harley, not DOT 3 or 4
The service manual says DOT 3 or 4 so that is what I use. Appreciate you watching ✌️
Thank you,well done
Thanks for watching 🤙🤙
This is just what I needed. My front are squealing bad. Can you send me a link where you bought the pads? Ride Safe
I bought them from JP Cycles. There is a link in the description. Glad I could help.
I wish bikes still had cable operated drum brakes. They were so much easier to work on and it was way easier to check your tire pressure without that rotor in the way. Looks like you still had plenty of brake pad left. Good job.
Sounds like things got complicated. Yeah I still had some brake left but got a 5K trip coming up and the squeaking was driving me crazy. Thanks for watching Greg
@@SinisterClutch Yes I have replaced pads just for squeaking too. I do tend to push it to get longevity out of everything. I wait until my tires are bald before replacing them. I'm a cheap sob. LOL
@@EasyRiderGreg 🤣😂 don’t blame you me too
I’d rather have brakes that actually stop you. The old drums might have been good for a small bike, but not a modern dresser.
Tengo.las.pastillas pegadas al disco algun comsejo que puede ser por donde intervenir
Thank you
You’re welcome and thanks for watching 😂✌️
Awesome video Sir. One question, is grease necessary for the outer part of the brake pads?
I did some research and didn't find anything on the EBC saying you needed to grease them. Also I didn't see other folks greasing them as well.
@SinisterClutch thank you Sir appreciate you!
@@Yakmandave Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if you have more questions.
I put the EDC on my road king. I think if you get the sinthered pads they squeak. And man you had at least another 50k on those pads lol
Don’t tell me that 😂🤣. So far no squeak but to early I’m sure. I don’t know about 50k but they had 20k on them already.
Were you going to VAMM this year. Watched the live stream with CDLNEPA everyone else said they are going.
No it switched to July and I already made plans. I’m riding out west to Wyoming and Montana
@@SinisterClutch if I had the time I’d go with you.
@@rollinstone1969 You need more time 🤣🤣
Lesson I just learned because I was lazy and didn’t do it myself brake pads front and rear and brake fluid change @ Harley dealer $640. Don’t be lazy if your mechanically inclined
Wow it’s that much? Labor must be crazy high.
@@SinisterClutch I was just trying to get it done before bike week in Panama City and didn’t have time. Next time I’ll make time for $420 in labor
@@kevinturpin7937 Yeah life happens when we make plans. I’ve been there before. Wow for that much I need to start working on bikes and charge half the labor 😂😂
I am getting ready to change my rear brakes today. I just did the front brakes last month. Then Ima pull off the front wheel & go get a new tire. Ima video all of it. I got this!!!
Update on your thoughts on the EBC pads? About to replace mine but have heard of them being pretty noisy. Also I know the stock Harley kit comes with brake grease you apply to the back of the pads. You don’t use the grease?
The EBC pads do make a noise but it's not a squeaky noise but more like a whiney noise but not crazy loud. These did not come with grease but they were not a kit nor did I find a kit at the time. I did some research and didn't find anything on the EBC saying you needed to grease them. Also I didn't see other folks greasing them as well. Would I buy them again? Yes because they don't throw dust like the Harley ones and supposed to last longer which I'm still waiting to validate. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any more questions. Take care ✌
@@SinisterClutch Appreciate the quick response! I’m looking for pads currently and was curious. I also have white walls on my RK Classic, so good to know about the brake dust. One other thing, I know the Harley kits come with a new caliper pin, do you think it’s needed or just swap the pads this go around? I’ve got 17k miles on likely original pads.
@@ed0985587 I always replace the pad pins and retaining clips. That’s just my preference. Now as long as there is no damage to either then you can get away with it. But that’s up to you.
@@SinisterClutchPerfect, thank you for the replies!
@@ed0985587 Happy to help.
Hey brother I’m taking a cyber break but I realized that I’ve been missing your content. My bad 😣.
No worries we all have lives outside of youtube. I haven't been putting out as much videos as usual. Weather is keeping me from riding. Take care and appreciate all the support🤘🤙👊
we just got a new to us 17 Street Glide. so this helps, my odd ball question is, is it save to put anti-sequel on the back of the pads? thank man
Actually if you buy the Harley pads they come with an anti-seize grease and a template to apply it. So it’s safe but I don’t think you need it. I’ve never had issues. Thanks for watching 🤙✌️
How do you like the EBC brake pads after riding for awhile?
So far they have been great. Definitely recommend them
Great video!That's one bad ass seat you got any chance you wouldn't mind dropping the name of manufacturer or style of seat? Thanks in advance just subscribed 💪
It’s a Saddlemen Road Sofa. I have some videos on it. Appreciate you watching and subscribing. Let me know if you have questions.
Are the front and back pads the same EBC FA409HH ?
Yes sir same ones. Let me know if you have any other questions.
👍
Thanks Darren💪👊🤙
Is there a difference inboard and outboard pads or if they go in it’s right ?
No anti-seize where the piston contacts the back of the pad sometimes they come with a stencil
@@derekallen6043 Supposedly Outboard provides better cooling and easier maintenance. While Inboard its quite the opposite with creating more heat and harder to maintain. That doesn't play a factor for me because these are outboard brakes for my bike and I'd have to install an inboard kit to use inboard brakes. Also regarding the grease, I contacted EBC because I was curious as well and they said it was not needed.
Nice now come do mine lol
😂🤣 right! Will work for beer 🍺 🤣
It's been a year, how did them pads holdup?
Still looking good. I’d definitely buy them again.
No need to take brake covers off
That’s the only way to get the pad pin and retaining clip off.
@@SinisterClutch the master cylinder….and those covers come off for cleaning …they stop rocks etc
@@stevegazo9512 Ah you mean the master cylinder cover. Yeah you can I suppose but I prefer to check it
