DP Brakes, the “pioneer and long-time industry leader in sintered metal braking technology,” is offering brakes that are an upgrade to the original equipment for 2019 and earlier Harley-Davidsons.
“Quiet and dust free” are the big claims DP makes for the popular front and rear sintered brake pad formulations, with Larry Mills, President of DP Brakes North America, saying that “Sportsters, Dynas, Softails and FLHs can all be equipped with DP brakes.
“Our fitment list covers Harley’s dating back to the early 1970s. We have also added fitments for all the new Street Glide trikes, Street models, Sportsters and the Softails with new calipers,” stating that “DP brakes are fitted as original equipment on all Performance Machine (PM), HHI (Hawg Halters) and Arlen Ness calipers, and they are very popular with those dealers who service police bikes and H-D rental companies worldwide. Situations where good performance, durability and service cycles are a key requirement.
“Extensive Dyno and highway testing results have repeatedly proven that DP brake pads have shorter stopping distances and improved overall performance. Customers will experience fade-free performance under all conditions. In addition, they are quiet, dust free and non-abusive to the rotors.”
