Just got back from an excellent trip to Tombstone. Took in the Grand Canyon on the way down...saw 2 RSV's there but didn't fine the owners. Wanted to ask them if they were members here. Anyways, spent 3 days down in Tombstone...a lot of very interesting history. Also took in the Pima Air Museum in Tuscon, Hoover Dam, Vegas, etc. on the way back:scorched:. The bike ran great. By Phoenix I noticed the rear brake was feeling & sounding funny, so I kept my fingers crossed & hoped there was enough pad to get me home to Canada. By the time I got home, the inside pad was completely worn down and I did have to replace the rotor...OUCH! The front brakes were still in excellent condition. This happened at 41000 kms. (approx.25000 mi) Oh well......I know I probably use the rear brake more on this bike to alleviate front end dive. Even with 5 psi in the forks, it still is a heavy front end. Is it common for the rear brake pads to wear out at this mileage? Oh, and I almost forgot... only 1 bolt managed to escape from the bike....one of the passenger flootboard bolts. Not bad, eh!!!
