08 brakes
Somewhere on the forum I saw a lenghty post that I can no longer find that said the 08 brakes were Squealing. Dealers allknow it and are having a hard time fixing them. I asked a big dealer in my area last night and they said they had no idea what I was talking about. They said the 06 had a problem but no problem at all they know of on the 08. If they were BSing me they lost a sale in the next month I can tell you that!

RE: 08 brakes
My 08 FatBoy squeals some when I come to a slow stop. Seems to be coming from the front. Doesn't do it all the time and mostly goes away when the brakes warm up some. I have 4200 miles on it now. It doesn't do it often enough and loud enough to take it in for service. I'm curious to hear others experience.

RE: 08 brakes
Got 12,000 on my 08 and no noise. My buddy got a Classic that was squealing for a while when it was new. He just kept riding it and after a few weeks or so the noise disappeared. Guess everything needed to just break in and seat.
If this is gonna keep you from buying a Harley then you have a problem. Hd doesn't make no bike that is quiet and don't vibrate " well mabe the Vrod "and don't make noise and don't clank when you put it in 1st gear.
Its a beast of its own nature. Either you like it or you don't/
