    Brake pad material...

    Hey guys, I'm trying to find out if the brake material on the brake pads on the 80-81 GS 750 and 1100Es was sintered or nonsintered, The Manual doesn't say. I'm thinking sintered?

    Stuff I've done to my bike:dancing: 1100E front end with new Sonic springs, 1100E swing arm conversion with new Progressive shocks installed, 530 sprockets/chain conversion, new SS brake lines, new brake pads. New SS fasteners through out. Rebuilt carbs, new EBC clutch springs and horn installed. New paint. Motor runs strong.

      Hi mrbill,

      Found this thread in the archives after searching on "sintered"...http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...ghlight=sinter

      Some of the posts are mine.

      There are lots of other threads on brake pads that also mention sintered pads so there is lots more archived info awaiting you...

        Odd that is what I thought, though for some reason those threads are not coming up. Anyways thanks, I'll try the search again.
