EBC Brakes Semi-Sintered Rear Brake Pads For Harley Softail / Dyna 2008-2017
Premium Rear Braking Control: EBC Semi-Sintered V-Pads for Softail & Dyna
For riders of 2008–2017 Harley-Davidson Softails and Dynas, the rear brake is a critical component for stabilizing the bike during low-speed maneuvers and providing reliable stopping power on the open road. The EBC Brakes Semi-Sintered Rear Brake Pads (V-Pad Series) were developed to solve the “wooden” feel and abrasive nature of standard factory pads. By utilizing a specialized hybrid technology, EBC offers a friction material that provides the longevity of a sintered pad without the harsh, grinding effect on your rotors. This is the definitive upgrade for riders who want high-mileage durability paired with refined control.
The Semi-Sintered Advantage: Sintered Life, Organic Feel
The EBC V-Pad is a unique “crossover” friction material that incorporates a 30% copper-sintered blend by weight into a high-quality organic base. This construction delivers the best of both worlds. The copper-sintered particles provide excellent heat dissipation and a long service life, ensuring the pads can handle the weight of a fully loaded Softail or Dyna without premature wear. Simultaneously, the organic matrix ensures a smooth, progressive initial “bite” and superior modulation. This allows the rider to apply the rear brake with precision, preventing the rear-wheel lockups often caused by overly aggressive full-sintered pads.
Preserve Your Custom and Polished Rotors
Modern Softail and Dyna models often feature polished or contrast-cut rotors that are as much about style as they are about function. Standard sintered pads are incredibly abrasive and can quickly “machine” deep grooves and heat spots into the rotor surface, ruining the finish and requiring costly replacements. EBC Semi-Sintered pads are laboratory-proven to be “rotor-friendly.” They create a uniform friction film across the disc, protecting the metal from scoring while providing consistent stopping power. If you have invested in custom wheels and rotors, these pads are the safest choice to protect that investment.
Quiet Operation and Cleaner Wheels
Rear brake squeal is a common frustration for many Harley owners, usually caused by harmonics between the pad and the single-piston caliper. The hybrid composition of the EBC V-Pad acts as a natural vibration damper, absorbing the micro-oscillations that cause noise and resulting in near-silent operation. Furthermore, the semi-sintered formula produces significantly less visible dust than metallic pads. The dust it does create is non-corrosive and easily wiped away, helping you keep your swingarm and rear wheel looking pristine with minimal effort.
Detailed Fitment and Compatibility
These pads are a direct-fit replacement for Harley-Davidson OEM Part Number 41706-08. This specific pad shape is the standard for the rear caliper across the most popular Twin Cam models of the late 2000s and 2010s:
- Softail Models (2008–2017): Fits Heritage Softail Classic, Fat Boy, Softail Slim, Deluxe, and Breakout.
- Dyna Models (2008–2017): Fits Street Bob, Low Rider, Wide Glide, Fat Bob, and Super Glide Custom.
Installation and Safety Compliance
EBC Brakes are manufactured in their high-tech facility in the United Kingdom and are fully D.O.T. compliant for street use. To ensure the best performance, always clean your caliper and rotor with a dedicated brake cleaner before installation. A “bed-in” period of approximately 200 miles is recommended to allow the hybrid material to properly mate with the rotor surface. Once seated, you will enjoy a level of rear braking confidence and durability that far exceeds the original equipment.
Choose EBC Semi-Sintered V-Pads for your 2008–2017 Softail or Dyna if you demand a premium, quiet, and long-lasting brake pad that treats your rotors with respect.
