Hi all, are the front pads on a bandit o/s n/s?

Cheers

You'll get a set of A & B - the pic is there to help reassure you that you're looking at the correct item.

When you take the old pads out you'll see which goes where in the calliper.

I think he means are they handed for left and right front disks. Going by the outline image they are, so you'll have to specify LH or RH, or just replace both sets. Changing them all is advised. Keep any old pads which have some life left in case you wear one to the metal one day and need an emergency replacement while you order more.

Those pads are shite in comparison to SBS super stopping power.

Thanks for the replies, yeah basically just wanted to know if they are handed to left and right discs, cheers

So Fireblade is gunning for the SBS pads, thanks I'll look at those too, any other thoughts on pads?

I'm not warming then up for a set of high octane balls out set of twisted tho!! Just commuting and a few NSL roads, motorways and a few twisty roads at the weekend

SBS Street Excel are good pads.

If you look on the SBS website they list a 704 HS for the right and a 705 HS for the left. You would need a pair like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-GSF600-S-SK1-Bandit-2001-SBS-FRONT-BRAKE-PADS-Street-SINTER-704-5HS-/151394285180?hash=item233fcd767c:g:qRIAAOxyeR9TKIif

I think SV650s are the same setup.

My K2 feels very sure footed and confidence inspiring for the most part, but it could use a bit more bite to the brakes. Considing the sbs street excels linked above.
