Problem fixed I think

OK, I took the calipers off and the brake pads out. I set the Brembo pads on top of the sicom pads and basically profiled the Sicom pad locating tabs to match the Brembo's using a hand file. Then I took the spring doomaflachie out of the caliper put the pads in and made sure they moved freely. I may have taken .010 off the tabs and I rounded one corner. It wasn't much.

I took the bike out and it doesn't seem as if the pads are dragging now. The rotors were a normal temp when I got back. I'll know more when I take the bike for a normal spin. It's cold and wet today. However, I'm pretty sure the problem is fixed.

Stopping power seems fine although I obviously didn't get on the brakes hard.

I'd show pics of the pads but for some reason my computer won't recognize my camera all of a sudden.
