Default Brake pad mileage front and rear ?

Using stock Harley pads. I realize everybodys riding style is different.But I get 10k to 11k on a rear tire and have them put new rear pads on at that time. They are far from wore out but they have it apart. Same on the front- new tire 16k-18k new pads. What are you guys doing? Can the rear be that hard? Take the box off. Can I do them myself?

Replacing brake pads is pretty easy and straight forward. Get a manual and do it yourself. Easypezee

very easy to replace and there are plenty of youtube videos on the subject. Also if your brake fluid is more than 2yrs old i would change it out!
