DP Brakes
DP Brakes is a well-respected manufacturer of high-performance brake pads and components, known for their durability, stopping power, and reliability. Harley-Davidson riders frequently choose DP Brakes because they offer a range of brake pads that are well-suited for the heavy, powerful nature of Harley motorcycles.
DP Brakes specializes in sintered brake pads, which are highly popular among Harley-Davidson riders. Sintering is a process that fuses metallic particles under high pressure and temperature, creating a durable, long-lasting pad with excellent heat dissipation and friction qualities. For Harley models, sintered brake pads are ideal because they:
- Provide superior stopping power: Harley bikes are heavier than many other motorcycles, and sintered pads give the strong, consistent stopping force needed for such weight.
- Work well in all weather conditions: DP Brakes pads perform excellently in both wet and dry conditions, which is critical for Harley riders who ride in diverse environments.
- Resist fading: Sintered pads handle high temperatures very well, making them resistant to brake fade, which can happen during long rides or in aggressive riding situations.
DP also manufactures a Heavy Duty Extra Plate Clutch Kit for Harley M8 Models. This Kit is designed to outperform any OEM or aftermarket clutch for M-Eight engines. The Friction plates come ready to race – no need to presoak plates in oil. Plates will not expand, or promote clutch swell like stock aluminum plates.
