How many miles are you getting out of your brakes pads on the newer 14 and 15 bikes before having to replace pads .

[FLSTFI Dave]

I have over 33K on my 15 SERGU, and still on original brake pads.  Had just over 45K on my 12 SERG on original brake pads.

Replaced mine at 300 miles with Lyndall, IMHO, more initial "bite" and way less dust.

Well took bike in to dealer, 23,000 miles said brakes were only worn down  30 percent , using front brakes a lot saved rear pads.
Had new tires put on and new front wheel bearing, know getting trip planned for Eureka Springs Arkansas . Bike is 2014 Limit.

I'm not sure how you guys do it but mine normally last about 12-15,000 miles.

I have never, that I can remember, replaced the rear pads on a disc brake bike (yes I rode those with drum brakes) prior to 50K. Although I keep foot over the rear during stops i honestly do not put much pressure on them unless a panic.
But the other thing is poster above had wheel bearings replaced? What's up with that? On the newer bikes what would make this necessary?

Just had front and rear brakes and tires replaced on my 2011 Road Glide Ultra. Had 32,000 on both. Thought was when I replaced the rear tire was to go ahead and replace the brakes. I use a lot of engine braking on mine, that was the way I learned to ride.
