Brake pads
So, I need to replace the brake pads on my ninjette. https://www.ninjette.org/wiki/Brake_options only lists part numbers for OEM, EBC, and Vesrah, but going off of this site( http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/What_re..._I_consider%3F), I thought I would go with SBS. It says that I would need these:
Front StreetExcel Sintered: SBS 597HS Rear Street Ceramic: SBS 615LF So I looked up the Sinitered Front Pads on Amazon and found these: http://www.amazon.com/SBS-Sintered-B...pe=motorcycle#, but it's telling me that these won't fit my 2004. It says: This Item Fits the Following Applications: 1996-1997 Kawasaki ZL600 Eliminator, Application: Front 1994-1996 Kawasaki EX500 Ninja 500, Application: Front 1992-1995 Kawasaki ZR1100, Application: Front 1991-1993 Kawasaki ZR750C Zephyr, Application: Front 1990-1993 Kawasaki EX500, Application: Front 1990-1992 Kawasaki ZR550 Zephyr, Application: Front 1990-1991 Kawasaki KL650B Tengai, Application: Front 1989-1991 Kawasaki KLR650, Application: Front 1988-1997 Kawasaki ZX600 Ninja 600R, Application: Front 1988-1990 Kawasaki ZX1000 Ninja ZX-10, Application: Front Is this the right part? Is Amazon wrong? Will this actually fit my bike? |

Here is what i found if you decide to use them.
http://uk.sbs.dk/business-areas/moto...&searchNumber= http://www.amazon.com/SBS-Brake-Pad-...ords=sbs+615hf http://www.amazon.com/SBS-Ceramic-Br...rds=sbs+597+HF Less expensive alternative while not HH sintered, but an organic pad that has good bite and longevity, i used these on some torn up rotors till i could get some new rotors and pads. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-Fro...item4d13137da4 |

Based on the shape, no.
The pregens brake pads look like this (rear is the same but smaller): Those are the EBC brand FA129 HH brake pads. If you look up that model number, you'll also get an amazon link for some pads that look like the ones in your OP but don't fit the ninja. Not sure why, I guess there's different shapes per model or something. I actually bought mine off ebay, because you can add "88-07 ninja 250" to the model number and get the correct shape. Try that with the SBS ones. |

How do they fit on the caliper? My EBCs have the holes that go over the endposts, but the ones you have don't. Do they hold on some other way?
