Try the second link Phil, that works. They are Brembo ceramic pads, I've used the SBS ceramic and they are really good.

On that note, just shows you how incompetent these sellers are, you select those Brembo pads and tell it they are for a CB500K 1972 and it says they don't fit. That's odd because the 400 and 500/550 pads are the same, check on their other items and they list the exact same pad as now fitting the CB500K. Even Teds link says they don't even fit the CB400F, they are for the CB400A and CB400T. Get it right fellas, it's not rocket science.

Same pads, different bike.

If anyone buys a set please let me know how they fit the caliper body, the SBS ones I bought are a little loose around the locating dowel at the top of the pad, this makes me think they'll rattle a bit when used. I did complain to SBS about them but never got a reply.

I have had a lot of parts from Honda Classics and never a problem, mostly stainless caliper pistons

Mikep328:
As  total newby here I don't know ANYTHING about the vendors/quality but, FWIW,  a few days ago I ordered parts from both David Silver and Honda Classics.  Both orders arrived two days later...as did the HEL brake line order.  So as far as delivering an order, I was quite impressed.

I have all the parts - mixed between DSS/Hclassics - I need to go through the front brake so that's the project for tomorrow.  It will be interesting to see if it makes sufficient improvement in the front brake performance.  I have to admit based on all the posts I've read re this, I'm thinking it won't... :(

Oddjob:
You could always consider having the disc drilled etc that is supposed to make a difference especially in wet weather performance.

TrickyMicky:
Forgive me if I seem a bit of a numpty, but re, the drilling of discs, I assumed that, apart from being fashionable, it helped with water dispersal and cooling.  The brake works by friction between the pad and metal, not fresh air. The same argument as to tyres, it's the rubber which grips the road surface, not the tread. The tread is there just to disperse water.  It's Friday evening, I've had a couple of beers and a good meal!  Stay safe everyone. Mike.
