Random question: What's the average thickness of new brake pads?

Taking the fairings off to mess with your brakes isn't a bad idea... might as well strip the bike down and do some other maintenance at the same time. You get a drop of brake fluid on your paint, it's fucked.

I'm doing SS lines and HH pads soon... SS speedbleeders came in recently too... just need some damn time.

Lines are a breeze, takes 30 mins.. We could do it at the track during lunch..

No reason to take off fairings, just some towels by the master cylinder.
