I realize the answer to this is going to depend on the kit you install and the type of riding you do, but what would you say is the "normal" life of brake pads on a trike kit in terms of miles on a Wing?

I have a 2005 Champion Goldwing conversion. Champion uses VW brakes and pads by Pagid. I was getting very poor braking with that stock setup. I then went to EBC "Yellowstuff" pads based on recommendation of another triker on this forum. With those pads, a good bleeding and some adjustment on the rear brake lever...the brakes now function the way they are supposed to.

I'd guess a LOT. On my Roadsmith conversion (uses VW brakes) at 7k miles there was NO wear. Pads looked Brand New
