Default Squealing front brakes on SG

Just fixed my squealing front brakes on my new SG in less than 1 hour for under 20 bucks. Pulled front wheel removed rotors filled voids with Blue RTV gasket seal, reinstalled rotors & wheel. Let it set overnight, it now makes no noise at all. I can't understand why Harley or a dealer would not make this simple fix before it went out the door.

Had the same problem, carried it back to the dealer they fixed it under warrenty. All they do is put the left rotor on the right and the right on the left. Fixed it

Better performance, material and pad life with floaters and you get rid of the cheap stock uglies! Ever wonder why floating rotors are stock on V-rods, Dynas, CVO's?
