So, I need to change my rear brake pads.  Anyone know where I can get a standard replacement? 

I read the Haynes manual for replacing them.  It seems pretty easy.  Does anyone have any experience doing it?  Is it as easy as basically popping out a pin, pulling the old plates, popping new ones in, putting the pin back in the caliber?  I've changed brakes on cars before but never on a bike.

Pretty much, if you want OEM pads you will have to get them from a dealer. 
i use EBC HH on mine.

As far as changing them, you got it.  Careful not to loose the little E clip.  Oh, the shims (if still there) won't work with most non OEM pads.

Pull the pin, squeeze the pistons back, and slide the new stuff in.  You'll want to hook up a hose to your bleed valve and open it so the fluid can go somewhere. 
When I changed mine, I didn't know about pulling the pin.  I just pulled the whole caliper off and tried pulling the pads out.  When they wouldn't come out, I examined it and found the pins.  Wish I had known about it earlier  Tongue

The only step missing from your list is to pump the brake once it's all together, until it's all firm.

You don't want to realize that you missed that step when you suddenly need your rear brake.

Thanks for the info guys.  I'll be giving it a shot in a few weeks.  I'll post my *hopefully* smooth and easy experience.
