The dust went away with EBC double sintered but the squeaking is there...I don't mind like i said earlier because the stopping power at least doubled.

I have a similar issue....My 09 RK will squeak when I am going slow and not applying front brakes. It isn't a sustained sound. Imagine the sound a rock stuck in your tire makes, faster you go the more frequent the sound, as you slow, the sound slows.....replace the clicking of the rock with a high pitched squeal. It doesn't do it all the time, but when it does, it stops as soon as I give the front brake some pressure. I haven't taken it to the dealer yet because if it doesn't do it when they ride it, they won't even look at it.

I have an 08 streetglide and the brakes squeak too.

Clean your caliper pistons of brake dust and put "Disc Brake Quite" or a similiar product on the back side of the pads.

Yep. They squeek alright. Nothing like announcing my arrival to everyone at a stoplight.

Had my rear pads replaced@22k mi. under warranty with stock pads and the kit to stop the squealing.No noise for 2000 mi.

I've recently been getting squeaking on my 09 RKC. Not all the time, but it's getting more frequent. I have about 9300 miles on the bike.

5000 miles and thank god not a single squeek....

Had my rear brake pads replaced and 15k and then the squeeking started. Glad to see your post, cause I'm looking for a solution as well. Never had the squeek until the pads were changed by the dealer. (08 Ultra)

I had the same squeaky brake problem on my 08 Ultra Classic. The bike had approx 2K miles when it began and the noise was very embarassing for being new. I talked to the dealer and learned HD issued a service bulletin for those who complain. (Not all bikes are created equal). The bike has approx 8K miles now and not a problem since.
