Default Brake pads

Hi all,

2005 Ultra with 9k and original brake pads. On "average", how long do you run your pads before changing them? Assume they are used normally without heavy braking or riding the brake.

Thanks

Andy

I got a little over 10K from my rear pads. Im at 12.5K on the front and still okay. I dont brake like I should all the time thus the uneven wear.
