This is a pair of new Ferodo Platingnum brake pads, showing the taper.
This is a photo showing the shape of the ate pads
This one shows one of the old pads, but it has not worn evenly over the surface of the pad
New ATE pad wear

Hopefully these photos will help

Re: New ATE pad wear
Likewise, I can't explain my parallel pads.
Here's what Bob's Web site says:
DESCRIPTION
These EBC Organic Line NAO Series* replacement brake pads fit 1974-1980 models (R75/80/90/100) with FRONT DISC brakes and the stock "ATE" brand calipers.
The package includes both pads needed for ONE brake caliper.
Please NOTE: When installing any replacement pads on "ATE" calipers we recommend also replacing the BMW o-ring and retainer clip that go on the back side of one of the pads. Order one each:
- O-ring part # 34 11 1 233 120
- Retainer clip part # 34 11 1 232 513
*The EBC Kevlar® series has now been renamed NAO series, which stands for Non-Asbestos Organic. Here are the features:
• The NAO series are a superb all round value-for-money replacement for all levels of motorcycle and are still extremely popular with many riders who prefer the “feel” of organic pads.
• Fully TUV tested and KBA certified and conform to the new ECE R90 brake regulations which are about to storm the European market.
• Most EBC organic pads have expansion grooves which reduce noise and prevent cracking.
• The aramid fiber compound with non-ferrous particles helps to prevent surface scorching under load. In other words, these pads can prolong the life of your rotors!
In any case, I may have less than optimum pads for my needs. What are the best pads in terms of high friction coefficient (and good function when cold)?
Also, the parallel pads I put in no longer are parallel. So, at this point, maybe they're just fine (for the compound).
