Hey, import owners, which brake pads?

Post by Kayla » Mon Jan 26, 2009 3:14 pm

I'm in need of some new pads for my bike. It's an import (red frame, white bodywork- you know, one of the fast ones :wink: ) so has Brembo calipers. Where the buggery do I get pads from for them? I don't have a part number for them.

Ta.

edit: Are they the same calipers that were on the XJR400?

Thanks Dave :D From that it looks like the pads are the same as lots of recent bikes.

:D No probs should help those of us with the old n gold brakes, mine work very well with just 2 fingers on the lever, oh and braided lines of course.

Interestingly, yes you can :D All TRXs used 100mm calipers.

The Brembos are fine though, they just need a smaller diameter m/c as 5/8" (15.8mm) is too big. A Brembo 15mm m/c would be just right but they're pretty scarce.
