Well if you want the answers Joe you gotta provide the options. Edit the poll man, edit the poll!
 Anyway I've worked out that you've got to be a particularly slow rider if you keep getting through front pads, fancy spending all that time breaking when you could be hooning along!  . |

I seem to have had the same pads for ages, I've never changed them but they and the discs were new when I brought the bike, at 6K done 18K now with plenty left.
Just thought, a lot of motorway miles so hard to say what it would be round A/B roads all the time. |

 Just changed the rear pads, which were the standard pads at 13,500miles. I have checked the front ones and they have loads of life left although I think they were replaced before I bought the bike As a side issue why can you fit sintered pads on the front and organic on the rear but not the other way round,  CHOG |

4 sets of fronts over 80k
Rear caliper and pads changed (seized solid) at 65k ( lots of life left in pads). V twin who needs a back brake anyway? Cheers Mark.
