DP offering upgraded "quiet and dust free" pads and stainless steel rotorsDP Brakes, the pioneer and long-time industry leader in sintered metal braking technology, has announced they are offering quiet and dust free fitments for all 2016 and earlier Harley-Davidsons.
Larry Mills, President of DP Brakes North America, said, "Sportsters, Dynas, Softails, FLHs, and V-Rods can all be equipped with DP Brakes. Our fitment list covers Harleys dating back to the early 1970s. We have also added fitments for all the new Street Glide Trikes and Softail models with new calipers.
"In addition, DP brakes are fitted as original equipment on all Performance Machine and HHI (Hawg Halters) calipers. Plus, they are very popular with those dealers who service police bikes and H-D rental companies worldwide."
According to Mills, DP957, 962, 986 and 987 are the popular DP brakes replacements for the newer than 2000 calipers.
"After extensive Dyno and highway testing, the results once again proved that DP brake pads have shorter stopping distances and improved overall performance," Mills added. Noted for their fade-free performance under all conditions "they are quiet, dust free and non-abusive to the rotors."
And speaking of rotors, DP has also announced that after their "overwhelming success" with their initial offerings, they are expanding their line of replacement high quality stainless steel rotors for Harley applications in 2016.
"Since the introduction of our OEM replacement stainless steel rotors for Harleys in 2013, we have seen excellent interest and demand for our late model fitments for 2000 onwards," says Mills. "Therefore we have expanded our line to cover models prior to 2000 to complete the line-up."
Mills adds, "All DP rotors are designed specifically to provide the rider with improved feel, increased stopping power and an overall upgrade in braking performance. Produced from high quality 410 stainless steel, they are 100% laser-cut for precise fitment and Blanchard ground for true flatness and an attractive finish."
Mills concluded, "We are also proud to say that all our rotors are "Made in the USA." The combination of our industry-leading sintered brake pads and these new stainless rotors will significantly improve the overall braking system of your customers' Harleys."
