I see lots of references to abs and non abs Pads. Is this due to a different caliper or sue to the abs effect of the pads?
My bike is an abs model with abs removed.
Which do I get?

there are a few options dependent on Year and Braking system

if I recall There are Tokico type or Brembo type and also ABS II or Servo ABS on Brembo

So we need year and a picture of your caliper if possible?

Pads front Brembo calipers

Pads front Evo Brembo calipers

Pads front Evo Tokico calipers

I have 2 sets of tokico's new but no packaging I ordered wrong many moons ago as someone told me the wrong set up :blast

Yes this is what I was afraid of.

I had heard in the past that ABS systems needed different pads to non ABS and as mine had the abs removed, I thought maybe I needed to order a different brake pad than the one recommended. I've been assured that's not necessarily true, a brake pad is a brake pad. Will work the same in an abs system or not.

Thanks for your reply though.

From memory, early Brembo like my 1999 say Brembo on the Outside.
Brembo Evo says BMW outside, Brembo Inside
Tokico says BMW outside Tokico inside
each take a different shape pad,
the rears from 1100 to 1200 pre LC use the same pads (not sure about LC):beer:
 
First the correct design pads for the caliper then HH or GG... You can have either grade... I ride all year and prefer GG as they have more feel... They have a little less bite when hot though so a trade off... Mid winter pissing rain HH can feel a little wooden...
