front brake pad mileage

[phil1945]

I have a 2012 gl1800 with abs with a csc trike..was wondering how many miles people are getting on front brake pads

You'll get a real wide span for response on that question. In fact, I get such a different mileage on mine it's hard to even answer. Just depends on how many trips to the twisties I make and how much HO HUM riding I do. I'd say on the average maybe 25K. I use to get way more then that as a two wheeler but that 300 extra pounds makes a big difference in pad usage. :xszpv:

Sorry I cant really answer this myself.
Seems I change my pads around the 2/3rds mark.
Usually between 17-20K.
As Im more of a rear wheel braker whether 2 wheels or 3.
Ive never let any front or rear set, and I use "FF" organics go more then 25K.
I need to know I have them when I may really need them.
Pads are cheap enough as is.
Why not change sooner then later??

But Im curious myself as I find with my 2010 GW with a MT kit.
Im hitting the fronts rather hard for my usual riding style more so then when on my 2 wheels.
