Well, there's something screwy going on then. At low speed the bike stops normally...no shudder. Stopping from higher speeds, longer time on the front brake, I hear/feel all sorts of pad noise like its slapping them around. I did notice the last time I inspected them the pins were grooved. Don't know if that's causing anything either. Maybe the pads got shot during the first overheating (self induced) session and caused them to go bonkers.... Don't know, but something ain't right.
