I know you guys are sold on swapping rotors and such. But, I think you are wasting your money. I, and many others have simply switched to aftermarket pads (Lyndall Z) and have had the noise problem dissapear. Its that simple. No goo crap, no expensive rotors, etc. Just a pad change. Problem gone.
Good luck.

RE: Front brake squeal - GET THIS FIX
All in all, I feel I should not have to buy any of this stuff to cure the nasty noise, but I did go ahead yesterday and ordered the new Lyndall Z pads. For what I paid for a new SG I should not have to deal with this. HD should make it right, and put pads and rotors on the bike that do not make this noise.
It sure seems like a quality issue with HD, and they should make it right. I will pay the $100.00 for the pads, and hope that the noise goes away. That way it will save me the many trips back to the dealer and allow more riding time for me.

RE: Front brake squeal - GET THIS FIX
I tried everything on my '05 Ultra to cure the front brake squeal including switching to Lyndall Z pads, applying "Disk Brake Quiet" to the back of the pads, and frequent cleaning of the calipers with Brake Kleen. Nothing worked for very long. The only cure was to install floating rotors. 5000 miles later and still no squeal. Wish I had done it sooner.

If you use floating rotors you won't need to use the silicone,floating rotors=no squeal

My dealer used silicone. Worked like a charm. I am installing the black floating rotors but thats for looks
