ebc xl500 brake help
« on: August 30, 2014, 05:43:16 pm »
Hi can some one help me find the right xl500 brake shoes.
I had to purchase special order so no returns.
The shoes I got were rear H324 (EBC) and front 318 (EBC).
The rear are just wrong they have like a locating pin on the fixed end and I need half round.
Is the catalogue wrong?
The front aren't right either but I will have to take the wheel off to explain better.
Its an XL500 S 1979 first model pretty sure its all original

I did a ebay search and the numbers don't match yours for EBC brake shoes for XL500 1979 models.
front are part number 312
rear part number 318G        ??

I searched the interwebything EBC 318  and EBC H324 and they both say xl/xr500 and a few others.
I cant understand it.

Hi guy's,
I have just ordered both front and rear shoes from evilbay and am still hope full they will fit when they arrive there are a few cross over year models in these xl 500's and some measurement before ordering is always a good thing.
Regards Rod.
I,m not very smart but I can lift heavy objects.(well I used to be able to.)
