XS1100SG front brake pads

[jetmechmarty]

I still find myself without the proper front brake pads for my SG. The YAMAHA pads I have are both marked "RI" and "RO". All four fit in the left caliper and none fit in the right one.

I'm working with a friend who has a parts fiche and access to the parts, but I keep getting the wrong ones. The 1980 parts fiche shows the same pads for both sides. This can't be right. Last night we ordered pads for a '79 SF as they have a different PN for each side. Will this fix my problem? I'm sorry I don't have access to any of the part numbers right now. I have two identical sets of pads. Am I correct in believing the pads should be tapered in opposite directions and slip right in place?

Your kidding me Marty! You haven't had brakes since Suches?
Try this web site:
http://www.yamaha-motor.com/service/service.asp

It's the official Yamaha parts fiche.

They list the right side brakes as:
2G2-W0045-00-00
and the left side as:
2G2-W0045-10-00

I guess I should have looked at the 79 parts list from the beginning. No parts are listed for the '80. I should have remembered the HOBBIT bike was a '79. Hopefully, this will be resolved by the end of this week. -Thanx
