My 14 Limited has had a brake squeel since new. It happens more when pads are new. It squeel just like you stated just before coming to a stop. Never happens all the time. Clean up rotors and rough up tge pads and it clears it for a while. Noise goes way after several thousand miles on pads.

Possibly rock salt dust on your belt and sprocket(s)? Maybe engaging/disengaging the clutch changes the load on the belt to sprocket relationship so it squeals occasionally? Might try soap and water and a good belt and sprocket cleaning. Mine has does that after riding down a dirt road before and got everything super dusty.

Since I am new to the big twins, wondering if the 103s have the spring damper plate in the clutch pak like sportsters do? Those make all kinds of odd noises when going bad. Just a thought.
My vote goes to something stuck in brake pad. Has it come back? Maybe some of that beloved salt you mentioned?
