I agree with Kris. I had to replace linings on our '28 HD and used woven linings. Modern linings are made for heavier more heat resistant drums. The old bikes use a softer lining so they don't eat up drums. I went to these guys in NJ even though I'm in CA. Good turnaround time, seemed to be good pricing and very good overall service. https://industrialbrakeclutch.com/ ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Nik, not sure where you are from but I can help you with what I have used on MANY different bikes from the teens and later. This material is a woven product with fine brass "hair". It works very well as it is soft and grabs well on both band and brake shoe applications. Recently I used it on a 1920 Henderson and also a 1940 Indian 4. The only downside is it doesn't last as long as hard newer material but who cares. I'd much rather have a brake that works for thousands of miles. A shop in Lincoln NE is where they can fix you up. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi all, I'm relining the rear brake on my '19 Henderson. Found several different grades available in Mcmaster- Carr. I'm not sure which would be the be the best choice. Any recommendations would be appreciated (even outside Mcmaster, I'm not associated with them). Thanks! Nik |
