I have a 04 Nightrain with a Precision Frameworx 300 rear tire kit on it, the back brake squeels, drives me F*cking mental, tried aignment, heard that a floating rotor would fix the problem, anyone else have some suggestions?

 

Try all the cheap anti-brake squeel solutions first (some kind of goo or pad on the back of the brake pad).

I had a squeel in my front wheel and floating rotors fixed it. (edit: but now I'm thinking it was more of a ringing sound than a squeal.)

 

Have you tried anything yet? If not go to your local Kragen pepboys o'reillys napa and buy a couple $1 packets of brake grease. Put it on the back side of the pads and go for a ride. Put a little on the two pins that hold the pads in place also. Gotta stop the vibrating harmonics.

 

Rite on guys ill give that a go, appreciated!!

 

I think you meant brake pad adhesive, not grease. The adhesive works well on cars. My new ceramic rear pads squeal now and then too. I will try this on them, should do the trick.

No, I meant brake pad grease. It goes on the back of the pads where the calipers push on them. Not on the side that contacts the rotor. Go to one of the parts stores and you'll see little one dollar packets at the checkout stand.

 

What type pads are you running? If you are running stock harley pads, I bet one of your pistons is tight or tighter then its running mate. (pull caliper and wipe off exposed area of pistons. Push them back in (might need to drain a little fluid to do this) and slowly push brake pedel by hand and note if pistons come out the same. (Do not push piston out too far!) Its not alignment (caliper runs on axle) and tire should have noting to do with it.
