    Does the 1100G use same pads as 1100E & ES

    Forgive me for posting this question in another thread entitled Brake Pad Options. I need pads for my 1100G and have resorted to looking on ebay. I've noticed that some listings there mention the same part number for a particular pad fits both the 1100G and the 1100E & ES. However, other listings for pads for an 1100E & ES don't include the 1100G. My question is: does anyone know for a fact if pads for an 1100E & ES will fit the 1100G?
    Thanks
    Willie

    Willy,

    Checking the parts fishe will answer your question.

    Buy parts at a low price for your snowmobile here at Alpha Sports, we carry a LARGE variety of parts and accesories.


    BTW, they do NOT share pads.

    To measure is to know.

      The pads are the same size BUT, they have different "ears" on top.
      I can get you pic's of both later tonight or tomorrow.
      The calipers AND pads from the 1100E will bolt on to your 1000 forks.

        Thanks guys. And 7981GS, that's cool, I have the info I was looking for. Amazing that some places list the same part number for all 3 models. A recipe for disappointment, fer sure.
        What a great forum!

          Huh. Ive never noticed a difference. Maybe I've just been lucky and the bikes I stuck pads on used the same stuff. I never knew that. Well colour me learned. :/

            My 1100G uses the same pads as my 850s.

              As promised, with part numbers visible.
              That should help in ordering comparable pads from other brands.

                VERY interesting. Odd that the part numbers are different for the 850 and 1100G (by one digit) although they look the same in the diagram. Hmmmm
                Thanks alot guys!
