I need to replace the front brake pads on my Valkyrie. Anything I should be aware of? Is it difficult?

Thanks!

Wanted to say thanks for the help.

I was able to easily replace the front brakes with the caliper still on the bike in minutes once I had the right tools and knew what I was doing.



The top left pad is new, it's  EBC  sintered brake pads, could not get the Honda pads as they are on back order. Supposedly there are better then the originals.  I can only hope, they were not cheap.
