Nice! Did you chamfer the back of the pad material to where it hits the rotor? You should keep an eye on that as it wears, you may need to pop the pads out & do it again.1980 GS1000G - Sold

Yep! I shaved it down at a 45 degree angle. May have to do it again toward the end of the pad life, like you said. We'll see.

Good stuff. You just don't want it to make a thin edge that potentially cold break off & jam things up.1980 GS1000G - Sold

FINALLY getting around to installing the new brakes on my 1980 GS850GT! I think Dan sold me the bracket kit back in 2015, but they've been sitting on the shelf.
Time to dive in!!
These are 1988 Ninja 750 Calipers and a set of Honda CBR F3 Rotors.

Nice! Get it done... Those are the 7 rivet F4 rotors. They are the lightest ones that work & just need the holes enlarging not completely re-drilling from memory.1980 GS1000G - Sold

Could you please remind me where the spacer at the wheel is supposed to go? On the inside or outside of the rotor?? (I'm assuming logically it's inside, but...)
