I went through this with a Raytek infrared thermometer/detector on my 87 900T. The bottom line is if you can feel the heat radiating from one wheel more than the other (front axle pair or rear axle pair) you've got a caliper hanging up. Rebuild or replace the caliper. (Exception, if it happens immediately after pad replacement you might have adjusted the piston out too far and I've had to screw it in a turn or so and readjust the parking brake).
IIRC the normal operating temp right after stopping normally on my way to work was about 200F on both sides. It goes down pretty rapidly.
I now run Hawk HP Plus pads on the front...highly recommended. Somewhat dirty, but they bite right NOW and haven't faded yet. Awesome friction.
