Usually they will wear right down to the metal and even ruin Ur rotors.

Default Mystery solved

Hello guys

This weekend I went to a HD dealer and the mystery was solved. The outer rear brake pad dislodged from the caliper tab slot because there was a misalignment in the rear wheel. The rear wheel has been mounted at factory with an offset to the left, causing an excessive gap between the caliper and the disk and the brake pad found its way to escape the tab, even with 2mm thickness of friction material left.

Thank you.

Marcelo
