Brake pads?

'79 KZ650 B3

Bike originally had a single front caliper setup, but was changed over to dual calipers sometime prior to my buying it. I don't know what the dual caliper setup is off of.

How do I determine what pads I need?

"That @#$%!!! KZ650"
79 KZ650 B3
Dual front disc brakes
Z1R 18" front wheel
Pumper carbs w/pods
MAC 4-1 w/ drilled-out baffle
Dyna S ignition w/ Dyna Green coils
WG coil mod
'81 CSR charging system
17/41 gearing

Hi Sean,

Since we don't know what unit they are off of, I'd suggest posting a picture of the calipers and maybe of the brake pad itself.

If you have the old pads you might try tracing them on a piece of paper and faxing the tracing to Z-1 Ent. my guess is Jeff will know what pads you need.
