Default Front Brake squeak

Got what I think is a squealing front brake on my '09 Street glide. It's intermittent and sometimes goes a way for a while. It always goes away when I apply the front brake. Started all of a sudden at about 2100 miles. Any easy cures? Thanks.

I'm aware of that problem, but this is a front brake issue. Does it also apply to the front?

I had that problem too. It turned out to be brake dust build up causing the anti rattle spring to bind. I removed both front calipers and pads. Cleaned out all the dust and reinstalled. So far so good, no squeak.

I've got an 08 Ultra that squeaks front and back at random times. I clean them and it stops for a time but comes back soon after. It gets embarrassing at a stop light.
