How long do the front brakes last..

oh, I agree with the masses. I think you are going to get yourself in trouble just using the back brakes. The way you brake becomes habit forming and in a panic situation, you do what you are used to doing and the back brakes by  themselves could get you killed. back tire slides and precious time is loss to try to recover and bam, you are in a car or sliding on your azz. Bck brakes are great on a dirt road, wet pavement, anywhere you are scared of the front tire washing out. It is easier to recover from a rear wheel slide than a front tire slide, but on normal pavement you can't stop in time for regular riding. We are just concerned for your safety bro!!!

Excellent reply
When TXBusa05LE gets in trouble, panics, locks the rear and low sides, he can tell all his non riding friends about how he had to "lay her down".

I find myself downshifting more to slow down then using the brakes all the time, but the rear and front brakes, I try to use them equally.
 
i got about 11,xxx out of my front brakes and i had to replace the rears at about 4,000 and havnt had to replace them since.
