I've switched to bendix MF compound for my fz1, and they're miles better than EBC. I've convinced a fee friends on other machines, and the result is the same.
Hot or cold, they're great to use, no fade when pushed hard (and they do get pushed), bit subtle enough for commuting. I'm going to get rid of the crap ones on my thundercat I use for commuting, and go with bendix pads.
Don't get suckered into using one specific brand though, try something different, especially when they're fairly inexpensive.
