Hmmm...little bit of fade under typical Dallas traffic operations. Decided to take a look. Sheesh! Where did all that pad stuff go?   I feel a bit guilty...maybe could've gotten a few more miles out of them? |

I need to check my brake pads again.
I've pulled the fronts several times with the intent of changing them but find them still thick and ready to go. They have to wear out sometime. I just keep checkin'.

Yep, there is nothing like preventive maintenance.... Just changed 'em in October.... It's the Dallas traffic...full throttle or full brake. Not much in between... |

Daniel.... then you had best get more on order now then... this riding season is still young.... Dallas traffic won't be changing so that's one pair of pads every six months.... there is a stock tip for me... Find out who is making Daniel's brake pads and buy stock... it's going UP!  |

I buy parts in bulk. Got two sets left (after I used the new ones here) and two complete front sets (8 pads)....half dozen oil filters, crash bars, windshield glass. And what do ya mean the riding season's still young? Started about 40 years ago if I recall.... |

Saw this thread and it got me to thinking .... when were the pads replaced? So I got a new set of pads from the dealer, went over to my buds place and the pads that were on were probably enough for Cheaha and back but since I was there and I had the new pads .... 1 hour later all done and one less thing to worry about. Thanks Daniel. |
