Accossato lists its AGPA38 front pad for the Chief from 2014 to 2023, and this version uses the Sintered (ST) compound. It suits owners who ride long distances in changing weather and want the same firm bite on a cold morning, a hot afternoon and a wet highway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccossato AGPA38 front pad in Sintered (ST)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for the Indian Chief, 2014 to 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant grip at high and low temperatures, says Accossato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliable braking in the rain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatches the weight of a big cruiser with luggage and pillion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pads per box, one caliper set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlternatives: EV1, EV2 and ZXC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConstruction and Material Quality\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato describes the sintered mixture as providing high, consistent grip at both temperature extremes and good wet performance. On a heavy cruiser such as the Chief, the front brake has to absorb a lot of energy on every stop, especially with a passenger and saddlebags, and it must not change character when the pad heats up. The ST compound is designed for that steadiness, along with Accossato's general aims of low wear and heat control against fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStopping a Heavyweight\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Chief rolling along a two-lane highway carries a lot of momentum, and when traffic slows unexpectedly the front brake must deliver firm, predictable deceleration. With a passenger aboard and a long ride behind, the pads are warm; after a night parked outside a motel, they are cold. A sintered pad keeps the bite consistent across both situations, and it handles a sudden downpour well. At each pad change, check the disc surfaces and the brake fluid, and replace the fluid if it looks dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccossato lists AGPA38 for the Indian Chief front brake from 2014 to 2023, with catalogue entries Chief 1800 (2015 to 2023), Chief 1800 Bobber (2022 to 2023), Chief 1800 Classic (2014 to 2018) and Chief 1800 Vintage (2014 to 2019). The rear pad for the Chief is AGPA81.
