Yup, '08 SG rear brake squeels at slow speed. Only 600 miles on 'er so will wait a while before I get too excited. Love the bike though...

Some rear brake squeal in the beginning. It's only an occassional occurence now at nearly 9,000 miles. It mostly happens when the rear brakes are hot from trailbraking in the twisties.

I received the notice for the filter but not the brakes. Did they send one out?

Mine squeals, but it's minimal.

Had noise in both front and rear on 2008 road glide. Changed rear pads to DP962 pads by DP BRAKES and noise is gone. Still waiting on front pads to come. Ordered from Dennis Kirk. Takes same pads on front and rear.

08 Ultra - back brakes squeel like a banshee when coming to a stop. Switched to Lyndall pads at about 6000 miles. Fixed the problem but started squeeling again about 1500 miles later. I think the idiot parts guy at the dealer had the wrong type of pads (scintered rather than organic) and the idiot installer (that would be me) didn't notice. Have just picked up the correct version but not installed yet. A lot of people have had success with these pads.
