After over 15k miles, it was time for a front brake pad replacement. It wasn’t because of any sounds or dragging, I based it on the miles. I decided to go with the OEM Honda brand pads, Part Number: Front Brake Pad (Set) – HO06455-MKC-A01, I went with the OG pads rather than from third-party companies. There is still pad material remaining.
I probably could have gotten more miles out of the front pads, but since this was my first replacement, I didn’t want to risk having a metal-to-metal condition.
Replacing a 6th generation Goldwing front disc pads is probably one of the easiest setups I’ve ever done.
The key to replacing caliper style pads is to make sure you compress the pistons as far it will go. I used a plastic body tool to compress the pistons. The plastic material is safer to use for preventing scratches to the piston and caliper.
