Break pads for gs500

Quick question, have you checked to make sure your rear rotor is OK after this? Having brakes worn to the metal base and/or improper rear brake usage can cause the disc to get warped/damaged in some cases. My old 250R suffered this problem, likely from a combination of improper braking and (as a result) my pads being worn down close to the metal. (I actually believe it may have also been result of applying brakes while hitting potholes etc, but that's just my own feeling...)

Take your fingers and run them along the surface of the disc, straight from inside to out, and see if you can feel any ruts. Even if you do, you can still use that disc, but braking power may be reduced slightly and it'll be a warning sign that you may need to alter your brake usage.

Not criticizing by any means, btw, just offering some advice.
 
It wasnt as bad as all that.. He only needed to go to Ted because we didnt have a good breaker bar. He had his axel nut loosened up and I didnt have something to get it nice and snug. By the time I got there he was mostly putting it all back together.
 
who's going to admit the only reason they went to help, was because they thought Tara was a chick
