RE: Squeaky Breaks
Same thing on mine.
I heard if you reverse the pads it will elimate the noise. I also heard that if you install floating rotors the problem will not only be gone but you will get better braking performance.
Dealer told me to bring the bike in and they will take care of it.
I have an 06 SG BTW.
It's a known annoyance with the SG

RE: Squeaky Breaks
It's not just the SG. I have an 05 RG and had the same issues with brake noise and it DROVE ME CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought the Lindall Z pads and Floating rotors front and back and no more noise. Just another thing that you would think would be right when you pay as much as we do for Harleys but I guess the MOCO likes to spread the wealth by supporting the after market guys also.

M-1192A SWAPPING AND ALIGNING FIXED DUAL DISCS
July 17, 2006
Purpose
It has recently been determined that swapping and aligningthe front brake discs on motorcycles having fixed dual disc brakes can significantly reduce brake squeal.
Therefore, effective June 26, 2006, the front brake discs willbe swapped and aligned on all production motorcycles having fixed dual disc brakes. The running change moves theformer left side brake disc stamped P/N 44156-00 LEFT to the right side of the hub, and the former right side brake disc stamped P/N 44136-00 RIGHT to the left side of the hub. The vent holes are then aligned before the discs are fastened to the hub.
Also, in the interest of promoting customer satisfaction, Harley-Davidson will swap and align the front brake discs on affected motorcycles under warranty, but only when responding to customer complaints of excessive brake squeal.
Motorcycles Affected
All 2000-2006 model motorcycles, as well as those 2007 models built before June 26, 2006, having fixed dual disc brakes that exhibit excessive front brake squeal.
