Reviews
Johnathan Miller
“I upgraded my Harley with GMA F-series caliper pads last year, and the difference is night and day. The initial bite is sharp but controlled, and I’ve noticed almost no rotor wear after several thousand miles. Installation was straightforward, and the pads fit perfectly with my F-series calipers. I especially appreciate how quiet the pads are compared to previous metallic ones I used. Definitely worth every penny for serious custom bike enthusiasts.”
Sophia Rivera
“GMA A-series pads transformed the front braking feel of my Softail. The pads engaged immediately, giving me precise control in city traffic and on open highways. I’ve ridden over 2,000 miles since swapping them in, and the organic compound hasn’t glazed or worn unevenly. The confidence they provide, particularly in tight stops, makes me trust every ride more. Highly recommend for anyone running GMA billet A calipers.”
Michael Thompson
“My experience with BP-series pads has been incredible. On my custom V-twin, these high-performance pads handle aggressive riding and long descents without fading. The four-pad set perfectly matches my BP calipers, and braking feels linear and smooth. I’ve tested them in both dry and slightly wet conditions, and performance remains consistent. They’re quiet, durable, and give me the stopping power I need for heavier touring setups.”
GMA FAQ
What motorcycles are GMA Brake Pads compatible with?
GMA Brake Pads are specifically designed to fit GMA-brand billet calipers, which are commonly used on custom motorcycles and certain Harley-Davidson models. Compatibility is determined by matching the pad to the caliper series (A, B, F, M, BP), rather than by the motorcycle make or model.
How do I know which GMA caliper series I have?
The caliper series is usually stamped or engraved on the caliper body. Check your bike’s caliper for the letter designation (A, B, F, M, BP) to ensure you select the correct pad set.
What material are GMA Brake Pads made of?
GMA pads use an organic friction compound. This provides good initial bite, quieter braking, and reduced rotor wear compared with metallic pads, making them ideal for street riding.
Can I install GMA Brake Pads myself?
Yes, if you have basic mechanical skills and the correct tools, you can replace GMA pads yourself. However, always follow proper torque specifications and safety procedures, or have a professional mechanic handle the installation.
How often should I replace GMA Brake Pads?
Replacement intervals depend on riding style, bike weight, and conditions, but a visual inspection of pad thickness is the best guide. Replace pads when the friction material is worn close to the backing plate.
Are GMA Brake Pads noisy?
Because they use an organic friction compound, GMA pads are generally quieter than metallic pads, producing less squeal under normal street riding conditions.
Where can I buy GMA Brake Pads?
They are typically sold through motorcycle parts retailers, custom shops, and online stores specializing in Harley-Davidson and custom V-twin components. Always verify the caliper series before purchasing.
Do GMA Brake Pads work in wet conditions?
Yes, GMA pads perform well in wet conditions, although organic pads may require a slightly longer initial bite to achieve full stopping power when first exposed to moisture.
