My original front brakes lasted until the fateful Gainesville, FL, stop during my Epic Ride. Those originals went 71,427 miles. I replaced them with EBC organic pads (PN FA388) and they lasted 42,249 miles. I'm pretty sure I've got OEM pads back on the bike now. If they go 71K miles again, I won't have to replace brake pads till 185,000 miles.
