Rear brake drag

[the Ferret]

Edited*** with updated info and pictures

On the CB it's really easy to see how much rear pad you have left

in this pic the gold color is the backing plate and the gray color with red arrow pointing to it, is the brake pad. (note how pad is lightly against brake rotor..this is normal). When new the brake pad is approx. 3/16" thick. When the brake pad gets within 1/16" or a little less of the backing plate it's time to replace (1/16" would be approx 1.5mm)

Just replaced all the pads on my ST 1300 and I took them down a little far lol. Don't take yours down this far. Much further and I could have damaged my rotors. Knew they were due but kept putting it off. When I did get around to it, it was almost too late. I got lucky.
