Front Brake Replacement
« on: January 20, 2018, 05:45:23 PM »
Looking to change the front brakes discs/pads on my ST1100P. Can anyone advise the best place to source them. Metalgear have a full set for $349.   :whit11-r

I paid $240 inc postage from the UK for a full set of OEM pads for my 1100A in Dec 2016

Front 45105-ML7-405  £14.50 x 2 =$AUD50.00

Rear  06435-MT3-405  £32.00      +$AUD55.51

or about $105 plus postage for a 1100PY (year 2000) making them about half the price I paid for my ABS set.

But doesnt include discs


P.S.  I think you may have only looked at one pair of pads, you need two.

Two pair for the front as quoted OEM and if their the same as the ABS model then sintered metal

Missed the disc part

Rear  43251-MT8-000  £139.00

Left Front   45351-MT3-000 £149.00
Right Front 45251-MT3-000 £149.00

Won't even bother with the currency conversion as Metalgear is cheaper but for pads alone the UK is my choice.

Put a full set of discs and brake pads on my 1998 ST1100 about 4yrs ago. Discs were from Metalgear. Found them slightly thinner than the OEM brand, but a hell-of-a-lot cheaper. have ridden about 20,000klms since then and have had no problems with wear or grip in all weather conditions.
Cheers,
