since they entered the Harley aftermarket and
custom motorcycle markets, the company says that
their ceramic heat shield based pad designs deliver
"excellent noise and fade-free braking in all
conditions, with the lowest pad wear on the market
- up to three times the wear of most other pads."
Available for most H-D model applications, including
the Harley 4-piston calipers, DP Sintered are the
brake pad of choice for PM in their brake calipers.
The company also offers Sintered metal formula
replacement clutch kits for Harleys that are said "to
