I had the same problem at around 3000 or so. I pulled the pads and put Versa Chem Synthetic Caliper Crease & Brake Quiet on the back of them(no, I don't work for them. I just wanted to be specific). I used it on brakes when I was working on cars for a living. Anyway, it has taken care of the problem 100%. Since then, I have ridden in all kinds of conditions with no more squeaking.

I had same issue and work on cars for a living, and bikes on the side. All the replacement h-d brand pads come with a template and anti-seize for the back of the pads. I went a head and pulled the pads and put anti seize on the back of the pads (1/16" thick) where the pistons hit and noise is gone, pretty common for cars. Mike

Thanks for the heads up on the brake quiet and anti-sieze trick, I will give it a try. It does sound like a goose at times!

I picked up a can of the Permatex Aerosol Disc Brake Quiet and applied tonight. From the reviews I read, it seems to be good stuff, along with the CRC paste and the Locktite stick. Anyway, trying it and should know in the next few days.

Did the brake quiet work? I have a goose in the brakes on my 2015 FLHTK too. It's hard to tell when he's going to honk but when he does its loud!

Only when using the "rear" brake pedal and at low speeds. Using the "front" brake I get no squeal at all.
