Greetings:

You can measure the thickness of the pads accurately with an inexpensive digital caliper from Harbor Freight. 2mm thick is spec. The only place to go for OEM replacement is Honda. However an aftermarket clutch - if any fit the SB - may be both better and cheaper. Burnt_Toast was selling pretty-good Prodigy clutches - again, SB fit unknown, but someone here knows.

Here is one place you can get them discounted online.

http://www.cyclepartswarehouse.com/fich ... &fveh=3650

Only problem is shipping will be about $11 so not much of a savings vs your local Honda dealer.

The clutch shoes are fairly unique to this Elite model so nothing aftermarket that I know of.
