So far (knocking on simulated wood grain laminate) they have provided plenty of stopping power (for a street pad), are noiseless (they came with shims) and appear to be dustless. I have only about 2000 miles on them so far, but it looks like these pads may have pulled off the provervial brake pad hat trick. Usually you can, at best, only count on 2 of the 3 (noise, dust, stopping torque).

Specifically a Piaggio BV200. It'll do 75 top end, which makes it comfortable to commute back and forth at 25-40 on the back roads I take, plus it gets 60+MPG. Questions for the group. Anyone else bought one of these? any sources to get them at a good price? I'm tracking one used in FL and need to ship. Anyone had good/bas experiences shipping motorcycles?
