I was asked in a PM why replaceing the brakes so early
1) past owner was old school, using rear brake heavy and adjustment is nearly gone
2) have to pull the rear wheel to do splines, ( no record of) so I thought while I was in there, do the wheel bearings, seals and shoes ( or at least have a set of shoes ready to go, as I will use them some day)
3) was gonna change fork oil this weekend too, thought might as well take a better look at pads, and if needed, hey im ready

I am a firm beleiver in be prepared and preventative maintainance
