Not really a problem this, more of a tip...
We discovered today that there are three available widths of brake pad in the fitment for the XBR500, iirc the standard is an FA67 or something similar...
Well the (very good) bike shop I got my mot in didn't have the one that's supposed to fit (middle thickness) so they measured up the set they had (thickest)... and to everyones surprise they fit no problems!
So if you want more life out of your front pads you know what to do....!
