Brembo front brake pad recommendations

[Normski]

OK, cueing up a bucket full of 'corrective' comments here, but hey, here goes...

I run different types in the front LH and RH calipers. A low speed grab organic in one side and a higher speed hot-capable in the other. Covers all thees bases. Done it for years with no issues, on my quicker bikes too, not just Laverda.

Ive always thought this a good solution to get the best of both worlds as you have done. The naysayers who don?t like this idea have never explained why so many models of bike over the years have come with front single or double disc options with no great detriment to handling or alarming flexing under braking with the single disc version. (Fitted to exactly the same spec forks) If they only ride a keyboard it may explain why they may know better

Depends a bit on how long the fork is, the front axle diametre and how powerful the brake actually is.  Big trailies with single discs can show an alarming amount of twist under braking.

That older bikes with single discs didn't twist their forks is probably down to the dismal brake performance. :  Todays single-disc bikes have far stronger forks and axles, possibly even a sturdy brace under the mudguard... as well as better brakes!
