Default Rear brake pads
I'm working on a '13 FXS Blackline for a friend and it is in pretty desperate need of new pads front and rear. Do I need to pull the rear wheel, or can I replace the pads just by pulling the caliper? Also what about the rotors? Should I just look up the standard thickness and go by that other than obvious wear?

Thanks from a Dyna guy.

Alright, alright, I did what I should have done to begin with and looked it up on the interwebs...easy-peasy. Pardon the disruption, as you were.
