You caught those pads just in time! Just for the heck of it it would be interesting jot down the mileage on a note pad To see how long/mileage you get out of them.
I have a file on my phone that I put maintenance done and what the mileage was. I'll look to see if those are pads I put on. I bought it at 13,500 miles. Has 30,000 now or right around there. I'll get back to you.
Ok, I looked and I never replaced the rear pads so they were original pads. Current mileage is 29,947 miles. I was using those rear brakes heavily due to my fork seals blowing out and coating my front brakes 1/2 way through the AK trip.
