There are options out there for you such as DP, EBC, LRB and the like. Harley does offer an anti-noise paste for the bembro pads. It is p/n 42551-08A and retails for $9.95.

I run Avid V-brakes, with Axtec pads & never hassle with toe-in and no squeaking any time. I think you should try it.

2012 still under warranty? If so, let the dealer fix it.
