RE: 08 REAR BRAKE NOISE
My rear brake squeals on my 08 SG.....took it to the dealer the first time....they sprayed brake sqeal on it...still squealed.....took it to a different harley shop....they replaced the pads....and it is still squealing. Now I don't know what to do!!!!! I guess ask them what I should do now. It sucks sucks sucks that they squeal!!! Any suggestions beside just living with the squeal??

Mine does too but I still only have about 50 miles on the bike. I just figured it was because they were new and the dealer didn't prep the disc'sright. I just picked my bike up 4 days ago but have not had the chance to ride much due to work. I will check the keeper pin to see if it was lubed or not.

RE: 08 REAR BRAKE NOISE
I have 08 SG and they squealeda lot when brand new.. I have 2000 miles now and it is pretty quiet. I'm a techata Chrysler dealership and our Chrysler/DodgeSRT8 cars all have Brembo brakes and they squeak like crazy too... Guss it's the high performance Brembos huh? Chrysler even has a bulletin to replace the pads with an updated Brembo pad that does not squeal. Seems to work. Done lots of them. Maybe they'll do the same forHarley someday???

RE: 08 REAR BRAKE NOISE
Mine squealed From about 300 miles on.[:@] Dealer did something at the 1,000 mi service, lasted about 200 miles and then the squeal was back.[:@][:@] At about 3,000 milesI purchasedsome Lyndalls from a member here on the forum. I put 'em on as is, didn't resurface or even scuff up the disk. They were quiet for a few hundred miles then started to squeal.[&o] Afterabout a1,000 miles they stopped squealing completely.[8D] Haven't heard a thing in the last 2,000 miles.

Mine make that noise every once in a while, 1000 miles on it now and my wife notices it. I am half deaf anyways. Just turn up the radio!! But seriously it has gotten better.
