Title: Brake pads
Post by: scott ele on April 30, 2014, 09:12:30 PM
Hello again all. i have a quick question. is there a post on here comparing the front and rear pads on an 85? i have been looking and cant find one. i basically just want to know if there is a difference in them or if they are interchangeable.I need a set for the rear but they all look the same in the pics. i know that even a few mm can make a huge difference on if they will fit or not so i figured i would ask people who would know. Sorry if it seems like a stupid question, this is the first bike i have owned and im trying to build it back up from years of abuse. thank you for your help, and be careful out there :)

They are the same. Front and back. I have these (HH) on my FJ's, and they are a good improvement over the OEM pads.

If you're bringing your bike back from year of abuse, you are not alone, and there are others here to help you with their knowledge and know-how.

Good luck!

thanks for the info. I have heard from some here and they are great, they helped me with a rather stupid clutch issue i had. But all in all they were very helpful.
