I've never had a problem with front brake squeal and I used CL SBK5 on both the race bike and the 748.

I do have a real problem with squeal on the rear brake of the 'Tard though, and that has SBK+ on the rear!

I find that a good clean down with brake cleaner and NOT applying copper slip actually cures the noise, but it does come back.

I'm not using the bike(s!) at the moment so it's not a problem, but I'm going to try and strip the rear caliper off and clean it up again over winter, so I'd interested to know what you do Glen.

I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather,
than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins
