Accossato lists its front pad AGPA58 for the Thunderbird family from 2009 to 2018, and AGPA58OR is the Organic version. It is a smooth, quiet compound that engages gently and spares the front discs, a good fit for a heavy bike ridden at an easy pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront pads AGPA58 for the Triumph Thunderbird range, 2009 to 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic compound, SKU AGPA58OR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato: longer performance with limited disc wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgressive bite that suits a heavy cruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuiet during slow riding in town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps the front discs last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso on this pad: ST, EV1 and EV2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo approval documents on file; for competition use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato describes its Organic compound as one that provides long-lasting performance while keeping disc wear to a minimum. On a cruiser as substantial as the Thunderbird, where the front discs work hard to slow a lot of mass, that disc protection has real value. Accossato's general design goals apply too: limited heat build-up to hold off fading, and strong stopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCruising Pace\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Thunderbird is rarely ridden in a hurry. It rolls through town, idles in a queue at the lights and cruises along coastal roads. In that kind of use a front brake that bites smoothly and predictably is more pleasant than one that grabs, especially when turning at walking pace with the bars on full lock. Organic pads also tend to be quiet, which suits the character of a big, laid-back cruiser. Riders who are new to a heavy machine often appreciate a front brake that is easy to feed in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeavy Bike, Careful Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight means more work for the front brake. Check pad thickness regularly, look for scoring on the discs and replace the fluid at the recommended intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists AGPA58 for the front brake of the Thunderbird 1600 from 2009 to 2018 and of the Thunderbird 1700 Commander, LT and Nightstorm from 2014 to 2018. For the rear, the maker offers AGPA92 over the same period. A box contains one set for one caliper, so check how many calipers your Thunderbird has at the front and order accordingly. Replace pads per axle and bed them in with a series of moderate stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no German ABE or test mark available to us for AGPA58OR.
