New brake pads Right size??

[gibi]

Decided to put new brake pads on the 82 Aspencade.Ordered new set for front and rear.Havent taken the old ones off to see what size they are.The new ones seem small.Not sure since havent had them off yet.The pad material for front and back both measure 3.5 by 1". Is this right.Dont want to take anything apart until im sure I have the right pads.Not that familiar yet with this motorcycle.Thanks for your help.

These are new 1983 front pads.
I think all years 1100 are pretty close to the same size if not the same.

'82 and '83 pads are the same. '80 and '81 used smaller, more square pads for the single-piston calipers.

Great. You guys are good. Its just that i have"nt seen pads this small.For as big as the bike is I quess I was looking for bigger pads.First old goldwing so still feeling around.Im getting it though.Thanks alot.I did put new brake lines on and thought might as well put the pads on. Its a great running bike and in good condition.

Not sure about 82, but 83 pads are the same number front and rear. All the same pad. :music2:

Gotta remember that there are two big rotor discs out front so the brake pads do not need to be over sized.

80/81 use the EBC FA 29 pads and the 82/83 use the EBC FA 69 pads front and rear.
