I bought a 07 custom with a after mkt chrome front end and rotor.The front brake squeaks like crazy just when the bike comes to a complete stop.i had a 02 duece with a chrome HD front rotor that did the same thing.Its this common?do i need to get the rotor machined?

 

Just to be safe, check your wheel bearings...my brake started making noises and it was because it was helping hold the wheel on...had 2 bearing failures with less than 7k on each...worth checking and cheap to fix.

 

I have a custom wheel and rotor on my Street Glide and i have ABS brakes using Lyndall pads. I experienced some "squeal" on the front. After discussing this on the Touring forum, others chimed in and some had the same thing going on with their front wheel and it has been decided it is because of the design of some of the rotors with all the holes. So if you have other than a stock rotor, that could be your problem.

PS. I use both front and rear brakes and gear down as i am stopping then release the front before i do stop.
