Brake Squeal
Sorry to rehash this topic, but I am taking the scoot in for the 1000mi next week and would like the stealer to do something about that obnoxious break squeal. I know that the current "fix" is the expandable foam method, but I feel this is not an acceptable repair method for a $20K motorcycle. Does anyone have an idea of how I can talk the service department into replacing the rotors with floaters ?

RE: Brake Squeal
You don't need foam and you don't need floating rotors all you need is to change the pads to Lyndall racing pads. I changed mine about 3000 miles ago and haven't had one squeak or squeal since. You can find a local dealer on their web site or just order from them. http://www.lyndallracingbrakes.com/home.htm

I have a o6 SG 2 week old that had brake squeal problems, I fixed it by removing the pads and using a file angled the leading edge off which corrected the problem. I can't get the dealer or harley to tell me anything.

I got the impression, from a previous post on this issue, that the rotors have a different part number for left or right. If this is true, I would not feel comfortable swapping them to opposite sides.

RE: Brake Squeal
I agree with you! However, this needs to be done every 3000-4000 miles. If you use more Front Brakes. I haven't tried to swap rotors, but will try that too! Switching to Lyndall or SBS pads does help as well.
