Default Fix for 08 touring bike rear brake squeal

I finally had enough today of listen to the rear brake squeal on my 08 Ultra while riding. No one seems to know what to do to stop it. So I figured I do the same thing I do to cars when disc brakes squeal. I put some of the anti-squeal material that goes on liquid and dries up like rubber cement. Guess what? No more brake squeal!

I am curious also,,, Mine squeaked like a Virgin on Prom Night. It is finally subsiding after 6.500 miles.

A better albeit more expensive fix is to swap out the stock pads for a set of Lyndalls. No squeal, way less brake dust, better performance.

I have taken the liberty to reword some of your text and put it into the context for which I believe you meant!

I thought Brembo brakes were supposed to be one of the best.

all the noise is caused by vibration, the bremo brake system is superior to the old system.... if you don't like the noise, turn the stereo up or spray the adhesive and it will be quiet for about 3000 miles....

DAWG, You made me laugh on that one!

My Grandfather told me this;

When I find the girl of my dreams & I think it is serious, get a large glass jar. Every time you have great sex, put one coffee bean in the jar. After you get married, take a coffee bean out of the jar. I said what relevance to finding the right woman for marriage or to life does this lesson have? He said “nothing”, at least when you get old, you’ll have plenty of coffee to drink.

You can also buy Lyndall Racing Brake Pads & save your rotors you will have to replace, loose the dust, stop faster, and keep your stereo at a normal level. There is an award winning MONEY BACK GUARANTEE subjective in the customer's own opinion to be the best brake pad you have ever run from Lyndall Racing Brake. What do you have to loose? Does Lyndall Racing Brake or any other venders such as myself honor this claim? Do a search for satisfied customers on this forum!

Choose either the Gold Plus series pad, the highest quality pad on the market. Carbon/Kevlar compound Our award winning or the Z+ Pad which has all the features of our premium brake pads at a surprisingly modest price - Rotor Friendly, Long Lasting, No Dust, More Stopping Power! Carbon/Kevlar compound

How expensive are the Lyndall pads for the 08's? When I pulled the pads out to put the anti squeal on them I noticed they were stamped with the Brembo name. Performance wise they're awesome. My Ultra will easily outbrake my Softail even though it weighs over 200 lbs more than the Softail.
