    1978 GS 1000/G brake pads

    When looking for brake pads for my 1978 GS 1000/G I can't find this model. I find a C, EC, N, and EN. The part numbers for these models are the same. Would my GS1000/G be the same? Thanks!

    The "G" bikes are shaft drive. Check this page for more info...https://www.thegsresources.com/modelinfo.php

      Nessism, that's what I thought. My title states GS 1000/G. I assume it's a mistake and possibly supposed to be "C". It's chain drive, spoke wheels, and the side covers have only GS 1000. Thank you.

        Yes, probably a C. Only one brake on the front right?

        Those early brake calipers with the little round pads are pretty terrible. I'd at least swap to a later model brake caliper if it was me. (Personally I would do the twinpot caliper mod).
