Front brake growl
I'm running EBC semi-sintered front brake pads on my 2013 RK, and they growl when the brakes are applied. The faster the speed when I apply the brakes, the louder the growl. I removed the pads this weekend and cleaned and sanded them, but it did noting to eliminate the noise. They work fine otherwise.
Is this common? To be honest, I never really noticed the noise when I first installed them in 2023, Then last year I replaced both front rotors (original ones were warped) and started noticing it. Maybe the rotors are contributing to the noise?
Any ideas?

I recently had sintered pads installed on my 2014 Street Glide and 2008 Vulcan 1500. I did not change the rotors on either and yes these do growl on both bikes at higher speeds and heavy stops. From what I read , it may be the rotors causing that growl.
