I have had rear brake squeal since about new. anybody else have this problem? the fronts are fine but the rear squeal is loud as hell[:@]

 

Sounds like you are using more rear brake than the fronts. The squeals are coming from too much brake dust collecting on the back of your brake pads. You need to clean the dust off your rear wheel often. You can try to blow the dust off with a air sprayer. Brake cleaner would do the trick, as long as you don't get it on the brake pad surface.

 

I now have the front brake squeal.[&:]

 

I had front brake squeel, to get rid of it I put on the floating rotors, no more front brake squeel. Now the back is acting up now and then. I'm going to try taking the pads off, cleaning things up good and use a high temp silicon grease on the backing plates. Hope that does it, if not I'll put the floating rotor on the rear as well.

 

I have a rear squeal if I don't wash the rear wheel brake dust off frequently

 

Toss the stock rotors in the scrap heap (with the stock exhaust)....floaters are the only way to go...standard issue on CVO's, Dyna's, V-Rod's & any performance bike on the market.

 

My front brakes squeal really bad.

 

My front brakes squealed terribly. Dealer said my pads were glazed over badly. Probably according to him that I had over heated the brakes too early. So for $119 he put on new pads. Not warranty but operator error. I have used them very lightly to prevent glazing. Well here we are about 300 miles onto them and they are starting to squeak again.

I cant afford $119 every 500 miles.

WTF should I do?

 

Go back to the dealer, tell him he's full of ****, and you want your bike fixed without some BS story about breaking in pads.

 

My brakes on 06 flhrs started doing this after about 100 miles of being brand new. When i dropped off for the 1000 mile service, they flipped the rotors on the front it has not come back. I believe this a known issue, at least with 06 touring bikes. Call your dealer, they did mine under warranty...
