I received the set of FA631HH pads today. They look right. I hope to be rear dut free by the weekend.

I installed the rear brakes this morning. They fit just like the OEM and I can't see any difference in them except the pad material. I will see about the dust over time.
Install notes:
THIS IS FOR REPLACEMENT OF NEW LOW MILEAGE PADS. IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF PAD WEAR YOU WILL HAVE TO PUSH THE CALIPER PISTON IN WHILE TURN IT COUNTERCLOCKWISE TO RESET PISTON FOR E-BRAKE.
1 - Chalk front wheel and loosen lug nuts with park brake on.
2 - Jack up rear from jacking point USE A SAFETY STAND, and remove wheel. DO NOT LEAVE E-BRAKE ON OR APPLY FRONT BRAKES UNTIL COMPLETE REAR BRAKE JOB IS OVER
3 - Remove the pad pin holding clip and loosen bolt with a T-30 before removing caliper.
4 - Remove the two bolts holding caliper bracket to axle starting with the top one. they use a 9/16th socket.
5 - Remove loosened pad bolt from step 3
6 - Remove outer pad then inner pad. During all this process do not pull on parking brake arm on the back of caliper. This will push the caliper piston out and cause unnecessary work.
7 - Take vibration plates off of old pads and install on new pads. This will stop vibration and noise.
8 - Install pad retaining pin and finger tighten with T30 until it stops then install retaining clip.
9 - Install caliper back on axle. Start with lower bolt first then upper bolt. Tighten ALL loosened or removed bolts to OEM torque spec for you bike. Do not forget to tighten the pad retaining pin.
10 - Clean off brake dust from rear caliper and wheel. Install wheel and torque to OEM spec.
11 - Complete the other side, Pump rear brake pedal, TEST BRAKES AT LOW SPEED. If pad manufacturer has a pad break in procedure follow it.
12 - GO RIDING. BE SAFE
That's great news Peter . . . and a great write up. Thanks. Looking forward to your report on how they perform and most importantly the issue of brake dust. I've only got about 250 miles on my new 2020 and now that I'm getting better from my knee replacement surgery I plan to put on my ProAction 14" shocks and install a set of RJS wheel discs - https://rjsoriginals.com/FREEWHEELER...el%20Discs.htm - that should help keep brake dust off the wheels. May want to go with the pads also.
Have had those wheel discs ever since the 16 was new.. They keep the outside looking very clean. Take the wheel off & the dust on the inside will scare ya to death. I put EBS shoes on shortly after Tri had a couple thousand on it. Not a whole lot better. Just fair. Had to power wash the dust off . Now that Lyndall has started making pads for a trike. I will go back to them. Had them on 2 wheelers years ago. Best pad ever in rain & min. dust the "Gold" series. Someone told me 19's were listed on Lyndall site so maybe 20 will be there.

I've been waiting until my new knee is better to install the ProAction 14" trike shocks and comfort lift kit that I took off my 2018. At that time I will install the RJS discs. I could do it now but first I'm wanting to get the TG over to Hog Skins to have that PPF installed.
