The switch is in! 1 hour test ride with lots of braking and the new pads are broken in pretty well. No leaks or other strangeness so far. The only kink I had was the Tokico bleed valves seemed to require more torque than the 5nm for the stock ones. They leaked at 5nm so I torqued them to 10-12nm. Don't know if this is really correct.

Performance wise there is a noticeable improvement in hard breaking down to a full stop. (showing up my spongy stock forks)

Naturally i'll be watching these carefully during my ride out of state this weekend and carrying the old calipers plus all necessary tools/supplies just in case.
