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
