Changed my Pads at 20K on the 08 FLHT still had some wear left but thought was a good time to do it as had a trip coming up .. Stayed with the Brembo's as had great service out of them ..

The stock Brembo pads have wear grooves in them. When the grooves disappear, you are at the .4mm minimum. If you can see the grooves, the pads still have life. The Brembo pads look unusually thin even when new.
