Default How many miles do your rear brakes last?

&nbsp\\;Mine only last about 10K miles.
&nbsp\\;
I think something is wrong\\; but can't prove it.

Well, I wore off the pads and ate up the disc by 13k miles. I don't know how long they lasted, but apparently not 13k.

Stock pads suck. Replace with brembo pads and you will get longer life.&nbsp\\;

I have 15,000 miles on my 07 Heritage and not problems with the brakes but most of my riding is done on the Interstate.

I replaced my rear pads at 14,500 miles on my RKC.&nbsp\\; The front pads are still original.&nbsp\\; I run mostly highway miles riding two up.

10k on each of the first two sets of HD pads.&nbsp\\; I just installed Lyndall Z-Pads so, I'll see if they last any longer...
