They worked fine,made kind of a squeaking noise at first,so I took them off and cleaned them.That lasted about 150 miles or so then it came back so I just replaced them with these.Slightly noticeable difference in performance,but not much;definitely quiet though so I hope that lasts awhile.They were 15 dollars though so we’ll see.

My Qlink does this also. The first two or three stabs at the pedal are like finger nails on a chalk board...but after it heats up, the noise goes away and it becomes it's normal spongy self.

If these rear brakes are cable operated, that is where the spongy brakes are coming from. Chinese cable housings have more "give" to them than most. If you can adopt H-D/Indian brake cables to your rear brake most of the spongy feel will disappear...ARH

Mine's solid rod actuated also. i just think I've been spoiled by disk brakes at this point. My drum still works fine, it's just not as sensitive.

I always said the rear drum on my old Harley was "for display purposes only". ;-) It was awful!
