Lyndall pads
I have a 2004 Dyna with duel front brakes. I put two sets of Lyndall pads on the front because the HD pads were making noise. I also put a set on the rear. I have around 350 miles on the new ones. I took the bike out today after sitting for two weeks. The front pads are squealing like a bitch when applying the brakes. The rear ones are not. i did everything Lyndall said on their web site. I cleaned the calipers, pistons and greased all the pins. Everything was ok till today.
When I got home I cleaned the rotors with brake clean. I took it for a ride around the block, by the time I got home the pads were squealing again. I then sanded down the rotors and wiped them down with brake clean. Took the same trip around the block and the pads were squealing again.
I guess I will have to take the wheel off and check the calipers.
I read a few Threads here, sometimes Lyndall pads are worse than the HD ones. The bike does stop better but can't handle the LOUD squeal when stopping the bike.
Anything else I should try?

Chamfer the leading edge of the pads. Gives them a smooth come together. Thats the side where the wheel roles into the pads first.
As said by 95-- the Permatex material helps with vibration wich is what you are hearing.
I have also used 600 -1000 emery cloth on the rotors to smooth them out.
