    Brake pads - SBS 533HF vs SBS 534HF

    I apparently ordered 534HF, but the ones on the bike is 533HF. Do both fit or should I return my 534HF and order 533HF? I see their sizes is somewhat different.

    Now with the wheel off it seems my pads are fine and have a lot left on them, so I don't think I am in a hurry to change. Will it improve braking to change them anyways?

    They're a different shape for the slightly later caliper.
    Send them back and get 533s.
    If they live up to their promise of long life for bike originally fitted with non-sintered pads, they should be ok.

      If you have plenty still on the old pads, they might be slightly glaze over. Take some 800/600 grit sand paper and deglaze the pads.

New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.
