I'm upgrading to a K1100RS front suspension using 4 pot Brembo brake callipers. Purchased a pair of used 4 pot callipers in good order which needed new pads. Purchased a set of Cycleto brand [Chinese] 407 pads made by the Huan Tu E-commerce Co. Ltd. Problem:- The metal plates the pad material is bonded to have a manufacturing fault. The hole in the metal plate for the slide pin is incorrectly located. To get the pads to smoothly slide on the slide pin I had to enlarge the slide hole by using a round "rat tail" file. They now fit properly and are able to slide as is required.
Yes I know... beware of cheap pads.
