Default Rear brake squeal

Rear brake squeal not while braking. Everything was fine until a rather quick stop sunday afternoon. After that my rear brake was squealing until I allpy it and it stops. As soon as I relaese it starts again though. Any thoughts?

Same thing here, I had to apply my brakes hard and after that, it was squealing like a piggy. It's starting to go away, but its been about 3 weeks. I just think its a glaze on the brakes. My buddy is a mechanic, he said to get ceramic brake pads, if they make them for the HD.

Try taking it to the carwash and cleaning out the brakes with high pressure soap.

get a can of brake cleaner & spray the crap out of the pads & caliper, the dust may be doing it from the pads. Should cost you $3 or $ 4 at the most
