Your riding style, local road conditions and local terrain all factor into answering your question.

,,,,,,,WOW.......Have you been over tightening the park brake .......

Are you talking front or rear or both? It's a TRI GLIDE correct? What Year?

2012 Triglide, I never use the parking brake, (just leave it in gear) and I THOUGHT I was pretty easy on brakes as I watch a good ways ahead to start slowing down when there's a red light.

I replaced em early as we're taking a trip from Florida to Ohio in a few weeks. Turns out the rears were paper thin and the fronts only had about an 1/8" inch of 'shoe' left. Since we're taking US 27 north I thought it would be a good idea to change em now as there will likely be a lot of small cities on RT 27. The Lord has probably kept me out of trouble AGAIN!

I don't mean using it when you park....I Never used mine...11 T/G And 17 T/G...

It might not be disengaging all the way. How are the rotors are they grooved ?..

[FuzzyWuzHe]

How do the rotors look??? Warped??? Have you flushed the brake fluid every 12k as recommended. Dirty fluid could cause the brakes to drag. Just off the top of my head, some things to check.

I have a 2013 TRI with 52k on it. I have changed mine at 10k(original HD came off) EBC on 30k and 50k EBC on. I use both front and rear braking all the time. The EBC gets twice the wear then HD. Little fading in the mountains.
