[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10975511, member: 11681"] I bought the 1521s to save my chrome wheels from further brake dust attacks. They work fine on the street, tires are more important than pad compound on the street anyway. I see at least you have a fairly decent tire on, that can do some work. When I need race brake performance I put race brakes on. XP10s, XP12s and XP14s. I don't see how you can compare brake dust levels and stopping performance between a bike that weighs less than 500 pounds with a car that weighs more than 7 times that weight, yea I imagine it just might dust a little bit less. Brake dust on a bike is going to be blown away before it gets on that large diameter wind blown wheel anyway. If you do not want corrosive dust eating up an expensive chrome wheel that is no longer available from Ford, these are great pads! They stop good enough for the type of typical spirited street driving I do. Anything more and I am saving that activity for TWS or MSR. On the street if I braked like I did on track I would be getting rear ended, the traffic is too heavy here for that level craziness. [/QUOTE]
