I was putzing around in the garage making a bracket for some extra LED brake lights listening to Bob Seeger.


Cut to the length I wanted and drilled ready to mount I gave it a hit of spray primer.

Waiting for that to dry and the thought of a 3  / 4 / 5 day ride floating around my brain it was an opportune  momet to check the front brake pads.

18-6 in the manual I have described an easy process.

Can do that one handed, tied behind my back with my eyes closed.

Loosen the 2 pad pins, remove left caliper and  Shocked Shocked Shocked



Not much meat left on the inside pad.

Other caliper was nearly the same.

I was tempted to put a new pad where the thicker pad was and put that pad where the thin one was.

All pistons cleaned. Sixity brand pads installed. Quick test ride down the street I live on.

All is good.

I have always wondered why one pad wears more than the others, normally.

Can you put the link to the MFG on a post, please.
