Just wanna +1 this bit specifically. FYI for OP, the heat tolerance you need in the pad is largely a function of horsepower, weight, and rotor size.
My Celica had oversized front rotors given it's light weight (2350 without driver) and horsepower, and still cooked the OEM pads. A twin that's heavier, with more horsepower, and (IMHO) marginal rotor size is going to toast those pads seven ways to Sunday. The upgraded pads that I used thereafter on the Celica (HP+) did not have a high enough heat range to work on the FRS well for more than a handful of laps.
