1983 Honda CB1000C · Brake Pads Buying guide
The listed front and rear pads share a 90 × 49mm outline but have different new-pad thicknesses. Use the caliper position and replacement reference to distinguish them; the thickness of a worn pad is not a reliable substitute for its original specification.
Front Kevlar pads90 x 49 x 9mm Kevlar pads; each set fits one caliper.View part
Rear Kevlar pads90 x 49 x 10.5mm Kevlar pads, listed for the rear disc on this model.View part

Kevlar and sintered-metal versions are listed in both sizes. The listings establish their material and application but provide no comparative stopping-distance or rotor-wear test. Confirm suitability for the discs fitted, especially on a modified brake system, rather than assuming the more expensive compound is automatically better.
Pin 29-7031 connects the rear brake linkage and replaces 46503-371-000. Its FAQ calls for checking the pin, mating clevis and retaining hardware together. A new pin will not remove play caused by a worn mating hole, and linkage work should include a pedal-return and brake-light check.
Use its shape and reference to help identify it, but do not choose the new-pad thickness from the worn friction material. The 9mm front and 10.5mm rear dimensions describe the listed replacement pads. Confirm the actual caliper and brake position before ordering.
Do not assume so. Honda specifically warns that incorrect rear pedal-height adjustment can cause brake drag. Have the pedal adjustment, linkage return and hydraulic caliper operation checked before choosing pads; changing friction material does not correct those faults.
