HOw many miles Mikey? I have 2100 miles or just short of that, and my rear brake still amazes me at how well it stops. No sign of wear/tear, although I've gone thru one set of front pads. Glad your swingarm wasn't toasted.
1500 miles. (btw, I'm now on my 2nd set of front brake pads now and will likely replace them soon)
I've not been impressed with my rear brakes for a long time. In fact, I had ALL of the slack adjusted out of the rear cables where they connect to the rear brake and its been like this for the past 4 to 6 months. When I go sit on new Prairies at the dealer, their brakes feel 10X more responsive than mine do now. Hopefully new friction discs will restore then to the performance I had when new. Maybe I expect too much out of my brakes??? I would LOVE to have rear disc brakes...even if it meant changing the rear pads every couple of months!

mikey that is great that you dont have to buy a new swing arm. im going to do some racing this year, might even have a sponcer wright off the bat.
lightman how are you doing? that is totaly crazy on how much it costs to have the dealer to replace the swing arm bearings. i have a total of $34.00 in parts, just finished mine today. i know that was a round about figure ( i hope), but they are making $430.00 just in labor. it took me a total of 2 hours to do mine, so devide 430.00 by 2 = $215.00 an hour at the dealer. WOW. LOL
