Quote from: Remcod on July 11, 2022, 09:19:21 AMDid you by any chance swap the left and right puck?The non stationairy puck has the dimple to fix the plastic ring. The stationairy one should however have an extension to fix it.I think Remcod may be onto something here, the stationary pad should have the hole in it. The cotter pin goes through the pad to the stationary calliper. Have you reversed them? (I've never tried reversing them, but it may be possible).

Here is a pic of what OEM pads look like. Is your stationary pad thicker than this?https://www.cmsnl.com/honda-cb750f-750-super-sport-1975-usa_model493/brakepad-set_00000kit0621/

It also appears not to be seated, down in the caliper. What’s the brown stuff between the pad and caliper? Scrape the paint off the metal backing plate and make sure that pad is seated properly.

The puck is very thick and not flush with caliper. I didn’t take a pic of the puck’s back but it has a small, off-center hump causing the gap.The non-stationary 'piston side' pad is the one that does all the work and it usually wears twice as much as the stationary pad,from what I've experienced:therefore removing some friction material from it will help clearance.Does the caliper freely pivot from side to side on its mounting post ?
