Default getting ready for a trip

Getting ready for our annual trip, so bike gets a bath and loom over. Brakes been squealing so a check is in order. Rear are gone.,13300 miles and rear are worn. Replaced this morning and a good cleaning. Thought I would have gotten closet to 20k on the rears. Oh well....I know we're good to go for the Dragon and whatever else we encounter. Anyone else get this few miles on rears??

Pretty good Baylor.... first one to answer that!
My Sporty got roughly 20k on fronts and about double on rear. I figured I would have decent wear on the front of this one with dual discs, but thought I'd get more that 13k on these!!

all about riding style..
gas/go hit brake to slow down /and or stop.
wear all depends on inertia.
heavy hand =heavy brakes.


your ride is a lot heavier than a sportster.
but brakes are cheap,have fun with your scooter
