Ok, am I missing something?

12,000 KM = 7,456 Miles

I have just over 20,000 miles on my '15 Limited, and the rotors are just fine.

My previous '11 Street Glide was traded with just over 40,000 miles and the rotors were just fine.

What makes you suspect that they might need replacing? Unless they are warped, which isn't likely, you shouldn't need rotors for quite a long time.

I think most would consider that low mileage for needing replacements.... but...

How long rotors last is dependent on many variables.... and of course, the reason they must be replaced (worn out/warped/damaged) is important too...

Need more info...

The rear pads on my 15 limited went metal to metal @15k.

With concentrated effort, rotors could be destroyed in less than one tank of gas, or could last the lifetime of the machine. Do you ride like a maniac or a fogy?

Pads wear out, rotors not so much, that said I’ve never changed a rotor, heck I can’t recall even changing a rotor on my dirt bikes, well except bent ones. And they take a beating! I could however go through 2 sets of rear pads in one 5hr race depending on conditions

I have 105,000 on mine and I just measured them and they are getting close to being too thin. I’ll probably change them the next time I do pads.

I believe that you have floating rotors which are less susceptible to warping which I think is the biggest issue. My limited has had 1 replaced on warranty and is due for 2 more on the front at 50000 miles
