Years fly by, but I know it was 1998 on the disc pads being too thick on the KZ900. The shoes on the KZ650 was around 2004 which were too big. I put the brake hub or whatever the term for it is into the wheel hub and I had zero movement of the brake lever as the pads were too thick, but barely. I sanded the pads for an hour or so to remove some material and got to where at least the pads were not dragging terribly. After assembly I had like 1/2" of brake lever free play after adjusting and I could turn the wheel and feel brakes were dragging, but I don't care, they will wear in and they did. They are OK now. Still I wonder why quality control is lacking on so many aftermarket parts? Not rocket science to glue some fake asbestos onto a metal shoe and at least have it the correct thickness to work correctly.martin_csr wrote: Ron, when did you buy your Vesrah shoes? Mine were installed Nov 2004 - they were identical as far as I could tell & I didn't have any brake adjustment issues. I remember comparing them side by side, just to make sure the guy sold me the correct part. I don't ride as many miles as you do, so maybe I don't know any better. hee hee.
