Maybe work it backwards. Take the EBC number for a set of 'H' pads, see what else they fit. Use a Rocky Mtn. printed catalog or their online listings.

Fer instance: The 'H' 200 model rear brake from EBC is a FA152R (scintered)

That same brake pad is listed for:

'89-'93 KX 125
'94 KX125
KLX 250
Most other years of KDX
'89-'93 KX 500
'95-'95 KX 500
....well, you get the point.

Same can be done for Tusk, Titax, and Galfer (thru RMMC anyway).

How's that?

Shoot me for the typo!

...I got this lousy cold, hackin' coughin' up green goo... couldn't see the keyboard whilst I was trying to type with my one good finger.

Who the heck knows where this crap came from....

They list some consecutive years under different headings because the back brake may be the same, but the front different. Don't have the cat with me, but I believe the second KX500 entry should have been '94-'95.

Do you have a RMMC catalog? Maybe of no use to you? I don't know if they sell overseas or not. Never bothered to look that up.

Sorry to razz a sick man. I will restrain myself until you recover enough not to shoot 'greenies' at me. :mrgreen: Seriously though I hope you guys get well soon as I've just recovered from a nasty flu and can understand how you feel. :grin:

Most of the time a good deal on eBay ends up costing more than retail. Hidden costs have been made infamous on eBay.
Inflated shipping , insurance and handling charges and inferior products.

Just a word of warning... I wouldn't trust buying brake pads off of ebay. They be NOS or contaminated. :neutral:

I hear ya. The bloke I'm getting them off sells brake pads only. He sells them for nearly every model both road and dirt. I'm basically buying them because they are cheap and I haven't got transport to get to the bike shop to be robbed by them. I will eventually order some Feroda or EBC's online probably. Thanks for the concern and advise V. I have had nothing but good luck with eBay (touch wood). I have always come out in front even after shipping a 40 odd pound crate from Ski's. Maybe I'm just lucky... :partyman:
