OK... I went to CycleGear today hoping to get a physical match on my old parts.

Old Rear Brake Pads:


One's I ordered according to EBC Catalog:


Ones I matched using olds pads in store using old pads and simple physical matching...simply hoping I would get lucky and they would have it in stock. :)


I got lucky, due to some divine influence, they were sitting out on the deck of the shelving.  I only quickly scanned the rest of the inventory hoping for the HH  racing version.  The HH are supposed to last longer.  I kept the FA197HH I special ordered rear but only work on front for when the fronts wear out in a year or so... maybe.  

as for the hardware on the bike...

this is front caliper.. on bike.

You can see this one has two hanger pins to match up with the two ears on the 197 pads

In this shot, you can see the B pad with the ear that reaches up.  This set of pads are Kymco OEM pads and are painted a bright green color (Kawasaki green?).  This was taken in the dark, while the caliper was mounted on the bike.  You can see the bleed valve in both shots to get your single point of reference.


The rear caliper is currently off the bike for the rear pad replacement and it in pieces.






Logo on body by manufacturer..know who this is?

Anyone want to buy a pair FA197HH fronts for $40 plus shipping. I can ship on Monday.
