RE: How many miles out of a set a stock brake pads
Replaced frontand rear padsat 32K miles on my '00 FLHT. The front pads could have gone a little longer but the back pads were getting thin. This bike is used for touring and as demo bike for MSF ERC classes (lots of max braking quick stops, etc.)
At 18.8K, front and rear padslook good on the '06 Ultra. This bikeis my every day transportation. I use both front andrear brakesto stop and don't race/hotrod the bike.

RE: How many miles out of a set a stock brake pads
rule of thumb...two sets of front pads to one rear or every two tires.
I get 10 -15K from the front and 25-30K from the rear. I try to change them whenever i have to pull the front or rear tires. I porbably can get more milage if i wait until they are actually worn out, but it is much easier to replace when i already have the wheel off vs. making a special effort to remove everyting.

I replaced my rear at 15,023 when I changed the rear tire for the first time. There was still life in them, but I had the rear wheel off anyway. Being a new rider I feel I was using more rear brake than necessary especially when riding solo. I've adjusted my riding style a bit, we'll see how it goes. Still got the original fronts on at 30,000 miles. I checked them at 26,000, plenty of pad material left. 2 sets of fronts to one rear? First time I've heard that one. I'd say your riding style has a lot to do with it. Agressive oreasy rider, solo ortwo-up, etc.

I uses both front and rear brakes on all stops. What mileage can be expected from the pads?

BTW, Drag Specialties sells the pads and rotors, and the pads are very reasonably priced. The rotors are expensive, ~$175 ea. IIRC. I have a set (2 pairs) of new front pads for the front of older HD's (up to and including '98) if anyone wants them ($25/pair).
