I agree, had 5,000 miles on my 06 FLSTC and the brake noise (squeal) was awful. My wife wasn't sure she wanted to ride with me anymore because the embarrassing noise at every stop light and, of course, the dealer said it was "normal". Swapped out stock pads with Lyndall Z plus pads and not a single squeak or squeal. It should have been the first thing I did after buying the bike. Extremely happy with their brakes!
