@admin I don't know why this is in the Africa Twin channel - I'm sure I posted to the Varadero - can this be changed?


Some manufacturers list different part numbers for front vs rear pads

(update) Honda OEM
Front: 06455-MBT-612
Rear: 06435-MAT-016

DP Brakes:
Front: DP128 (9.6mm)
Rear: DP126 (8.3mm)

EBC
Front & Rear: FA261HH

SBS
Front: 735HS or 735HF
Rear: 736LS or 736HF

Now, does this actually matter? I think the difference is just slightly thicker front pads, probably because they wear more quickly.

The other dimensions are identical

SB:

Honda list different part No's For Front and Rear Brake Pads.

If in doubt . . . follow the OEM.

Thanks. I've managed to find the SBS pads they specify. EBC were available but more expensive than OEM!
