    I went to the Brembo site and used their parts locator to identify the part numbers for the pads on our Terras.

    Front: 07BB03.xx (xx specifies organic, sintered, etc.)
    Rear: 07BB02.xx

    I then looked up the pads for a (just guessed* at this) 2010 BMW F650GS.

    Front: 07BB03.xx
    Rear: 07BB02.xx

    To me, this means they are the same whether they are Brembo, EBC or whatever else. Does that make sense to the rest of you? So, if I buy an EBC from MotorcycleSuperstore.com for a 2010 F650GS I'll get pads that fit my TR650 Brembo calipers. Please, poke holes in my reasoning before I order them.

    *It was an educated guess.

    There are dozens of brands and compounds available to fit the TR calipers.
    i.e. The rear is one of the most prolific calipers used by bike manufacturers around the globe over the past 20 years and is the same caliper for the Aprilia Pegasos, MultiStrada, Mana etc etc, nearly all F-model BMW's (650+800, singles and twins), all G-model BMW's, all Yamaha XT660X/R/Tenere, and endless others from Euro-built NX650 Hondas to current Chinese CF650s.

    And the front? I'm guessing it is paired with the rear.

    They don't have to be paired, but often are.

    Check any manufacturers site like SBS, Fren, Goodridge, EBC, whatever
    http://uk.sbs.dk/business-areas/motorcycle/products.aspx

    Use their search to look up their generic pads numbers.
    For fitment info (reverse lookup of part#) of the actual pad, check the product pdf
    http://www.sbs.dk/media/61963/sbs_01680982202_2014.pdf

    And yes, the front anchor has been a stock Brembo parts-bin item for a while and has been used by various manufacturers (i.e. Aprilia, Yamaha etc)
