Front brake noise
Hey y'all, I'm getting a clicking sound from the front brakes ,only when applying,
The only time it hasn't done this was when I replaced the router and pads but it was back within a month. Maybe need a softer pad instead of metallic? Any thoughts?
1986 wide glide, 21" and single router.

You could try an organic EBC Kevlar pad That's what I use on my bike and I don't have any single issues no dust build up no nothing. I personally believe that metallic and cintered brake pads were made for racing vehicles high speed high temp breaking applications to keep the breaking.. We don't need that **** on our street bikes.. All that does it's warp the rotors... JMO.....

if that's the case then I would suspect you got a cable problem. It shouldn't be breaking every 3 years....
