2009 Streetglide ABS, how many miles can you normally get out of front brake pads?

 

welcome to the forum. On my 2013 Road Glide I changed my front pads at 60,000 and they still had a little life left in them. The rear were original when I sold at 68,000.

 

I changed mine on a 2012 Limited with 23K miles .............. I'm a fat man riding a fat bike and I like front brake ............

 

On my 09 ultra I still have the original pads all around with 34K on the clock. I could probably get another 6-8K out of them but may change them this winter. I don't use the engine for braking unless I'm riding in the mountains. Figure I can change the brake pads but would not have the ability to change a clutch, so I use the brakes more than most people would. Been researching EBC semi-sintered pads for replacements.

 

roughly every 22k miles for convenients while I change the front tire .

 

I only got 14,000 on a '15 Ultra Classic and I'm not a heavy braker.......

 

Depends what kind of miles. Lots of highway miles and you'll change them less often.

 

Yes, highway miles don't wear the brakes. Mountains and in town will. I got 54,000 out of my first set.

 

On my '98 Road King, I did not change the front pads until 95,000 miles. I was shocked. Tons of highways miles though and mostly one up. Changed the rears at every other oil change.

 

That's a loaded question. If your a highway queen then lots of miles but if you ride to enjoy the world from 2 lanes then plan on around 20K.
