Rear Brake noise
2006 Fatboy rear brake squeals when coming to a stop. Doesn't make noise when slowing from
high speed only just before the bike comes to a stop. Anybody else have this problem or know a solution? I've tried spraying disc brake quieter- works for a short time then the squeal comes back.
Thanks in advance for any info.

RE: Rear Brake noise
some of the cause is the design of the rotor. You can grab the rotor and flex it each way almost 1/8 of an inch! The design sets up a harmonic vibration, like a wet finger on a wine glass. Hit the right speed, and it will sqeal. My mech. suggested that when it needs replacing [or anytime really]
Replace it with a higher quality rotor with a stiffer design.
