Here's a link to the online EBC catalog mentioned above.

US Harley Catalog Pages 2018 July 2018.qxp_apps (Page 16/17)

The pads numbers for the 2017/18 Scout / Scout 60 and the 2018 Scout Bobber are FA209/2HH for the front and FA213HH for the rear.

The FA672HH (front) and FA377HH (rear) only apply to the 2015/16 Scout and the 2016 Scout 60.

Will do! It's strange they sell rotors but not pads for those rotors

Hey, your post really helped me and wanted to log in to say thanks.

Also, the brake pads on the 2018 scout are an easy install for sure, remove 1 pin, push the pad against the caliper to seat it back to stock, put in the 2 new pads, minding the seating bracket thingy that holds the pad, put pin back and torque.

@chiefdano8,


I am once again late, but looking for the correct brakes for my Scout, I found this Galfer - EBC cross reference.

I hope it helps.....if I read it right, FD172 front and FD165 rear for my 2017 Scout.

Yesterday I asked Galfer about front pads for my 2015 Scout, they are looking now.
But if they won't find any suitable pads - what the best aftermarket pads? EBC, Lyndall?

 

[Hatt]

Personally, I go with EBC. But, I haven't had any that are "bad"..

 

[art.kondakov]

Ok, I got an answer from Galfer support:

Good morning,
It would appear that the brakes on your bike are pretty specific to your motorcycle and we don’t have a pad to fit. It does appear that EBC provides a brake pad for you bike. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Well, next step is Lyndall

 

[art.kondakov]

Lyndall answered that their 7175 should fit my 2015 Scout. Well, at photos this pads really looks like OEM, but do anyone tried them?

Dooooooood.. excellent find and post!
This is the very thing and only mod left I need for my Scout. I was about to start looked for a custom way to re-brake my Scout.
The Scout as stock gets by just fine with it factory brakes, but add some good power to it, the brakes become the weakest point!
Thanks for this!

These kits have been out for maybe a year now too. Just wish they came in a blacked out version. But hey I can’t complain. That an easy fix.

FWIW, when I went through my rear brake issue: couldn't get the rear firm after the dealer did the 10K and replaced all the fluid. Indian was spoon feeding us... replace the rear master cylinder... then replace the rear brake line... then replace the rear caliper. When all three (basically a complete replacement of the rear brake system) were finished, I told the tech to replace the rear pads (at my expense) while we were going through all of this.

Fast forward... rear squeals like hell. I go back in and ask the tech: did you rough up the rotor with emery cloth when you put the new pads on? He said no. Well, any old school mechanic knows that if you replace the pads, and you don't break up the smooth surface of the rotor, the pads stand a good chance of glazing, and then they make a lot of noise.

I took it back in, they pulled the pads. I roughed up the rotor with emery cloth, and sanded the pads to break up the glaze on these new pads. So far it has been quiet, but time will tell...

AZ Mitch, just had a question on the rear scout brakes. I've got the 2015 scout without ABS and replaced just the pads last summer. I've had a hell of a time with them sticking or not completely releasing ever since. The rotor gets pretty hot even on short rides. I've pulled the caliper off and completely cleaned the pistons and caliper, I've filed the paint off of the edges of the metal parts of the pad and I've bled the lines. Anyone have any advice for what I should try moving forward? They aren't noisy when I'm moving forward and/or braking but they squeak when I'm backing it out of my garage (no big deal). Thanks a ton in advance!

As some may know, but I fear most do not,,
the part numbers listed for Scout brake pads on just about every online vendor is wrong..
I found this out after purchase. Good thing it turns out the wrong pads for my Scout, are the right pads for my Bonneville, so that's lucky! Lol

The Vendors typically list the pads for the
Rear As variation on of something containing "347" which looks like this.
View attachment 360674 this pad is wrong.

You are looking for a play on "377"
Which looks like this. View attachment 360676
These are proper.
These pads are also used by ATVs, dirt bikes And various examples off road equipment made from various manufacturers. I guess we know where Scout brakes were sourced from!

For the Front, it's funny because the shapes, are the same between the right ones, and the wrong ones.
Commonly, the number listed is FA196.
This pad looks like this. View attachment 360678
This pad is wrong .

The right number is FA672.
They look the same but there is a difference in size. View attachment 360680
The 672 is the lower.
This pad is also commonly used on many manufacturers ATV and side by sides vehicles as well.
So the silver lining to the odd tale, is we have many options of pads ranging from 10 dollars, all the way to 80 dollars.. but, if we know what ATV we are shopping for, we can have the right, top notch brand pads for our Scout for around $35 for front $25 the rear!!!

@Meggie
I was hoping we could sticky this one so maybe more numbers, cross references or shared models could be added by other members until vendors catch up with the folly.
Thanks in advance boss!
Ride long and prosper.

I just got these from G and P cycle front and back for my 2015 scale

I just installed EBC’s EPFA209 pads on the front of my 19 Bobber. I had used a similar pad on my single rotor Ducati monster and had a great experience. Working on fork spring changes and putting on commander III cruisers now, but will report back shortly if anyone is interested.

I too just installed Commander lll tires on my Scout. When I was putting on the frt wheel I noticed the brakes were almost non-existant at 8300 mi. I used the EBC HH pads.I rode a couple hundred miles today and every thing felt about the same. Thats not a bad thing,I liked the way it rode. I wasnt to happy to see "Thailand" on the side of my tires.

Installed the EBC EPFA209s on front only after scuffing up the disk well with a scotchbrite pad on a DA sander. Initial bite on the pads is less than I’ve had with other EBCs, but they stop well and are very progressive with one or two finger stops by the end of break in. Keep getting better through break in so by time the new tires (Commander 3 Cruisers) are scuffed up, it should be a good combination. They do make the rear feel pretty anemic, so might have to do something back there eventually. Thumbs up in the EBC EPFA pads so far.

So .. last week I heard that grinding sound from the rear of my 2015 non ABS Scout . A definite oversight on my part and poor preventative maintenance especially with 25 k on the clock . I called 3 dealers looking for pads and all I got was none in stock and supply chains woes ,don't know when we will get them in . So I followed this thread and could not find EBC's for the rear . I took the Indian part numbers for the front " 2205849" and rear pads "2205854" and hit Amazon what I came up with was these Niche pads and since I've never heard of them I started searching . It seems some of the guys on the Honda GL1800 site have been using them for a few years now with pretty good results . So at 23 bucks for the fronts and 23 for the rears I figured I'd give them a shot "some brakes are better than none " . Must say quite surprised and even though I have only put on 150 miles this weekend I'm happy with my 46 buck purchase , just as good if not better than stock . Another option for us .

Installed Galfer FD205G1651 today. That's the second time I used it on front brakes (first time my dealer installed them). Cheap and don't last long, but works good and that's enough.
