Default Front Brake Squeak

I've got an 06 SG that's always had a slight front brake squeak, but lately it's been getting louder and I'm having a hard time keeping itto tolerable levels by periodically cleaning the rotors. I know this is an old problem, but I'm wondering what the latest wisdom is on this issue. A search turned up a service bulletin (M-1192A), but I'm not able to open it. Any help will be appreciated.

Bulletin says to switch right side rotor over to left side and left side rotor over to right side, I had it done on my 06' Road King Custom worked for awhile,
squeak is back. I read somewhere else people switched to a aftermarket pad with great results (don't recall brand, sorry). I'll be switching to floating rotors and different pads this winter, the squeak is driving me crazy.

You can't see the document probably because you don't have Adobe document reader. It's free.

When I had the problem on my '07 Heritage I switched to Lyndall Z-Plus brake pads. The squeal went away as did the brake dust.
