How many miles did you guys rack up before needing your front or rear brakes needed replacement?

Really depends on how and where you ride, mountains/city w/heavy braking or flat with not a lot of braking. I've got 21,656 on my 09 FLHT and still have the factory pads front/rear, and most of my riding is done 2up in the mountains, but I'm not heavy on the brakes either, that's what lower gears are made for!

My front pads needed replaced about 12k, the rears are still fine at 21K.
