Here's my experience with EBC pads: http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,188508.msg2189134.html#msg2189134
I'm not a fan of double brakes. Too much work, increased unsprung weight and also I don't like the looks. My stopping power is well within the law. Personally I prefer to be able to brake like a fool in an emergency. IMO an accident due to too powerful brakes is more likely than due to shortage of stopping power.
Oddjob:
I don't think anyone has ever accused the brakes on a SOHC as being too powerful.
I could lock the front wheel on my 500 with twin discs but then again I could also lock it with a single disc, depended on the road surface. Personally I found the twin disc setup looked more balanced, like twin exhausts does, it performed better and gave more confidence, you do however need to either slot or drill the discs as the smooth surface didn't help with water dispersion for instance.
