Hi , Ordered front pads and they are the wrong ones , so checked other ads and it seems many gs 500`s have a different caliper to mine. I have a tokiko caliper and need pads so wondering if any kind soul has the same and can let me know the pads i need .... looking online at used calipers it seems the tokiko calipers were made for the gs 500 ... they work well when they have good pads ... cheers folks
I mean tokico.. oops
Pictures might be in order as the calipers can be interchanged through all models years. However, to start things off, these might help.
The original front pads for 1989-1995:
