Default Rear Brakes

Does anyone know how I can keep my back brakes from squealing, 2015 Street Glide Special.
. I've replaced them with Harley pads, installed and in one week they started squealing. Removed them did a figure eight on rough concrete installed them and in one month started squealing.Anyone out there can give me info on this, I would very much appreciate it.

take the pads and with sand paper sand the edge of the pad to chamfer it and also put some brake anti seize on back of pad reinstall and you should notice a big difference.
