I’ve just read your project bike for £1000. Looks great too. Interestingly when I converted this build to twin disc, I also removed material from the RH lower fork leg caliper mounting point.

It was the first time that i did a double disc and it was not just bolt the caliper arm on :o
It is annoying that i had two squeaking disc's in stead of just one. The left hand side has now stopped squawking but, still a little squeak from the right side, if it carries on i will remove the second disc as, i preferer to brake in quite ;)

TBH if feathering the front pads works as it often does in my experience with cars my suspicion would then be that it's a pad to disc alignment angle issue?
In cars it was linked to the move away from Asbestos pads - softer pads often cured the problem - cheaper so called high performance pads often made it much worse.

750 never seemed to squeak, i have never had one squeal . It is always the 400, 500 and 550's. ;)

It either did or didn’t 🤔
Do we knowwhat causes it…Ted is convinced it’s the pad edge
