I tried asking over at hondatwins to no avail. It might just be an issue of swollen aftermarket pads and having to just grind them down...but my front brake won't seat properly. The pads are new and they just lock the rotor. See pics for reference:

any help figuring out what might be the problem would be awesome! No lines are hooked up yet, everything is a dry fit. Everything has bee rebuilt and cleaned (previous), so really I have no clue what the matter is. If anyone has OEM honda cb450 k7 pads, can you please measure them for me? I am trying to troubleshoot, and knowing the stock depth of the pads could answer my questions.

thanks!
