    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

different shape rear brake pads?

I have not had a 650 but my guess is the top one is the rear brake, take out the old ones and compare before you order.
 
The bottom ones are not from our series of bike.. never seen anything like that. Maybe the 1150 uses a pad like that?
 
A lot of ebay listings have disclaimers on the images.
Colour may differ, for reference only, actual appearance may differ, contents may settle and so forth.

One of the best reasons not to buy from eBay, unless you know what the part is supposed to look like

Top one is correct
 
I ordered the correct ebc front brake pads, but the seller told ,me their ebc inventory was off so he sent sps brand. He also said if there?s a problem w that let him know and he will take care of it.

any opinions about SPS?

SBS (Scandinavian Braking Systems) is a good premium brand.

I've never heard of SPS. If it's some Chinese no-name and not a typo, do NOT install that junk on your bike and get your money back.
