26.5K miles out of the stock brake pads
I got 26.5K miles out of the stock rear brake pads. The fronts are still going strong. Not too bad.

Just replaced my rear pads....
Not sure how many miles on them, but come to find out my rotor is also in bad shape.
A new rotor cost anywhere from $150. to $200. Used ones can be had for around $25.  I went ahead a put the new Kevlar pads in any way, (I got a Ride coming up Sat) but was told they wont last as long as normal because of all the ridges/grooves in the rotor. The pads were only $11.00 and easy to install, so hopefully they will last a few days. I will have to keep my eye out for a rotor sometime later on down the road. The rotor takes much more work to install, as the wheel and axle must come off along with the saddle bag brackets.

Thats pretty impressive wear, I seem to get around 20k on a set of rear EBC pads. I'll see how far the Sixity pads go before they need replacing.

While on the subject of rear pad life... I'm new to a Nomad and it seems like this bike takes more rear brake to stop than any of my past bikes. Does anyone else feel it takes alot of rear to stop or am imagining things? the bike had 16k on it when I got it and the rear brake pedal pad is heavilly worn and I thought that was odd. I may be subconciously influenced by this fact and paying more attention to the amount rear I use.
