Brakes

Please tell me you didn't get the 04 new and 13yrs later only have a little more than 1k/yr -- that's dog abuse -- got to take them out and let them run.

No I didn't get it new. Had it for 5 years and 11k ..although I only rode it 800 miles last year. This year it already has 400 miles I'm way over my quota..lol.

The 04 is a handrail...I also have the k9 which gets more mileage.

Just messin with ya buddy! And, I'm glad ya got that bike away from the previous owner who only used the rear brake. He's lucky he didn't kill himself doin that. Or worse, break a real nice lookin scooter !! Stay Safe Friend

this Wolf is nothing like the chopper or the mastiff

Wow -- if you can use a Big Dog as a handrail you must have more money than me!
Do you use it for the entrance to your man-cave or the main house?

well I think you'd put the back wheel on the bottom and front wheel on the top step -- would look bad ass -- don't know how well it would work unless you're short. Then again -- who wants that many extra hands on the bike!

The issue was the guy who owned it before me only used the back brake and it's a lot of bike to stop 9 1/2 feet and a lot of motor

That's hilarious. In 25+ years of riding I have never actually worn out a set of REAR brake pads. Engine braking is usually as much or more than the rear tire can handle.

That's what I'm saying I got thousands of miles on the other two bikes the brake pads look just fine..

Maybe it was just a poor set of pads, try a different MFG if you know who made the old ones

I've heard of those brakes before this is what I took out of the Mastiff after 6000 miles

I don't think trailer miles wear the brakes, maybe the shocks.

If your adding trailer miles, then it has close to 60K on them.

EBC Racing Compound Pads that are designed to work with BREMBO ROTORS are the real deal ticket .On *ANY* RSD Drive bike ( and on a few of My Same side Sprotor-Brake Rotor & Rear Sprocket combined ) all you need to do is remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper to the rotor, take out the cotter pin for the brake pad shaft ( THROW IT AWAY & get a spring clip cotter pin ) remove the pin holding the pads,take the old pads OUT.....compress the pistons inside the caliper,insert NEW Pads,re-install the pads,Pad Center Pin,Spring pad adjustment clip ( not a necessity-but do it anyway) put the spring loaded clip thru the brake pad pin and pump the lever or pedal till the pedal and compression come back to life . BDM used DOT 5 Brake Fluid exclusively......dont use crap dot 3 or other stuff .
