Pad and Piston kit

[cliffnote]

I am having a devil of a time finding a pad and piston kit for the front brake calipers of my 79 GS1000E. The original part number was 59100-47840 but was superseded by a newer number: 59100-47861. I was able to find one at a remote dealership but I need another. Any ideas?

Do you need the whole set? If your piston is still okay, Z1 sells pads and seals that should work okay. Likewise it appears that the pads and seals are available from Partshark as well as others. I can't seam to fathom why they want $140 for a set of pads. Z1 has them for $25.

Thanks. I'll check Z1.
