Im on the lookout for some front brake shoes for my 73 RT 360,i havent ridden a bike with drum brakes for a long time,but i still remember how feeble they were.So i was wondering if any body could recommend any good manufactures of shoes.Im in the Uk,so i need a suppier on these shores.Thanks in advance

Yamaha still makes them.

i have looked online using 'Yamaha Rt 360 front brake shoes'as my search,and come up with nothing in the uk,and then searched for the part number and its been superceeded a few times.Have you the correct part numbers,i know its a 150mm hub

It's not hard to find the part number looking up on any of the many online dealers. Unless I'm missing something?

Could be you're looking for a model that was never made. There is no such thing as an "Yamaha RT 360". If you have a 1973, it's a Yamaha RT3.

CMSNL shows them as well... slightly different number but likely the same thing. The ones I've purchased always come in sets (both shoes) but they are showing "2 required"... that is a mistake.






.

I wonder if it's because "the computer" says that two sets are fitted to the bike (same shoes shown as fitted to the rear wheel) and so shows two in that field?

I know, it's not a great excuse for it!

I think what makes it a mine field is the myriad of t superseeded part numbers.Anyway there in the post,thanks for your replys
