2 different styles of rear brake shoes?

[Mike]

I purchased a set of rear shoes on ebay. Got them in today to find out that they weren't the right ones. Model number is S609, and I looked at a couple places online and it shows S606 as the correct number. I contacted the seller and he said that Suzuki made 2 different styles of brake hubs for these years. Any truth in this?

Nope

Check any parts fiche, or a supplier

[Mike]

I didn't think so. I've checked several places, and none of them show the 609 for the 450

The guy is trying to say that it's my responsibility to make sure that I'm ordering the correct parts, when the title of the auction is "NOS Brake Shoe Set Suzuki 1982 GS450 GS 450 Rear".

Hi,

Hmmm, the S609 brake shoes fit the GS400, GT380, GT500, and GT550.

You do have to be careful when buying from Ebay sellers who probably know less than you do.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I'm sending them back in the morning and if he doesn't refund shipping, I'll file a dispute
