My 07 UC front still stock and in good condition according to Harley shop at 85K miles during tire change and the rear was replaced few years back due to rotor failure under warranty and also in good condition after over 50K miles.I ride very hard but I'm very easy on the brakes.

My front pads are great but I replaced my rear pads around 8500 miles and they needed it. I used some cheapo eBay pads and now I feel a little vibration at low speeds coming to a stop. Riding dirtbikes all my life I've hard a hard time getting used to using the front brakes more.

I don't understand how some of you are getting over 20K miles on a set of pads. I've never gotten over 20K miles on a set of pad with any bike in the past. On the bikes I've ridden with a single rotor it been 10 to 12K miles on a set of pads.
