Default 08 ROAD KING SQUEAKY BRAKES

I'm new to the HD family, should my new Road King's squeaky brakes bother me. No ABS. Mostly rear brake squeak.

there's a little pin that needs some antisieze on it.&nbsp\\; mention it to your dealer on the first check.&nbsp\\; 11,000 miles on mine and haven't hear them since.

Mine squeak every now and again, and I changed the pads to the Lyndall Z at about 500 miles.&nbsp\\; Less dust, brakes well... squeaks some.
