【KOHKEN (KOHKEN DENKA)】Pad Pin Review
Genuine Kohken Black brake caliper pan pin for Brembo caliper
I already upgraded the rear caliper for a lovely Brembo cnc one and also wanted to swap out the bsically horrible standar steel coloured pin for something that went with the black cnc colour of the caliper. I did find this from Kohken which I have never heard of but apparently is a really good brand. Hey, I don't mind giving a brand I do not know a crack. Besides, this was the only alternative I could find that looked as good as I wanted it to look. The price was really good value for what you get. I did have a few other parts in my order and got them all shipped together using EMS as my preferred courier. I honestly love EMS as they just get your order to you quickly and with no fuss. My order arrived in 5 days from shipping and everything was fine, no issues at all. The pad pin was in a nice little Kohken plastic packet. The pad pin itself is super well made. It has a loveley texture to it, very smooth indeed. The anodising on this is brilliant and really brings out the curves of the pad pin. There is also a nice little neat logo on the end of the pad lin which is cute. Once fitted, the rear caliper now looks amazing and gone is the horrid looking steel standard pad pin. Really happy with the purchase. Thanks Webike and awesome work Kohken.

for BremboRust measures Pad pin
brembo BilletCrab caliper (120.A441.10) Mounting on
brembo 84mm PitchCutting Type Crab caliper (so called BilletCrab) I installed it in
Beta pinQuantity:Pad pin of Type to be fixed with 2pcs.
The BilletCrab came with iron-like pad pins, so I was worried about rust, since it was the undercarriage.
There are some Titanium pad pins available from ThirdParty, but they are too expensive…
So here it is.
The base material is stainless steel, which is resistant to rust, and the surface is coated with titaniumium.
At the very least, I believe it will serve the purpose of Rust measures well.
further (Although it is subjective) It is a classy gold with a high quality texture, a knob on the head for easy maintenance, and even a hole in the head for wiring, with the letters ”K” proudly displayed on the top.
The texture and functionality are perfect.
Although we are fully satisfied with the content, 2,000 yen seems a little expensive from a sensory point of view.
(Material sold for more than double the price.:Titanium is out of the question.)
However, it is a niche product, and I am convinced that it is within a reasonable range.

It's easier to grab and has a better texture than the OEM bremboPin. View detail
Wow that's cool
I bought this for Brembo. It's hard to tell the performance, but I like the beauty of the color and the shape. It's easier to pick up than the standard pad pin, so maintenance will be improved. But the price is a little high. ・・・・ If it is a little cheaper, it is the place where I want to introduce it to this and that. View detail
