There is a kit that the techs were sent to solve the issues with the 08's. Ask your tech about the kit.

 

Keep bringin it back to dealer, they got it right the third time for me. Said they kept getting upgraded kits and one replaced another. The most recent one was the fix.

 

+1 theres your kit. And dont waste your time going to the dealers for squeel, they'll just say its due to your riding style and pads are a maintenance item and are not warranted.

 

Had that problem on my RG front, I removed the pads cleaned them sprayed anti squeak on the back side of the pads per the instructions and beveled the leading and trailing edge of the pads, worked like a charm been quite ever since...

 

I have an 08 Streetglide with exactly the same problem.. Dealer looked at them a couple times and said its brake dust etc.. asked him about the bulletin, again going nowhere with that. He did have a suggestion that worked:....

Press fairly hard on the back brake, and travelling in 1st gear give it some throttle .. draggin the brakes this way for less than 10 feet, and the squell is gone.
I have to do this about every 10,000 km, works everytime.

 

I also have 08 SG with the same problem the dealer has a new rear rotor back ordered for almost 2 months . I am going to give the draggin the brakes thing a try.

 

Had a squeal when the brakes were cold.Took everything apart cleaned good,no more noise.

 

Same problem - drove me nuts. I use the back brake as I complete a stop and that is when it really squeels.

Got the Lyndall pads, still squeeled, got another set - was a lot better. Apparently there is a defective batch of Lyndall pads out there - I found out about it after I bought the second set.

Then put some of that anti-squeel goo on the backs of the pads and it fixed the problem . . . most of the time. Lyndall doesn't recommend use of the goo, but it works pretty well.

 

Glad you posted this I have the same problem with my 08 SG and it drives my wife nutz. She say it's abrandnew bike what the hell. She's right.

 

Except for the one suggestion to take the back pads off, I am going to go thru the list of ideas (a couple I have already done) posted. Why don't the pre 08's have this problem? I probably will change out the rear rotor in a few hundred miles when I put on a new raer tire. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
