When I bought those springs, the fellow mentioned some other springs that he thought were a bit better than Yoshimura. I don’t recall the maker, but I’ll see if I can find the info.How do these lengths compare to Vin springs?

Kinda makes you wonder about the his job interview and references? Hopefully the Forman threw the guy in the tip when he was done with him.I love the wording of that,
Years ago I worked in a Garage, And with the new brake shoes, Was a little tube of grease,
With the wording, " For use on the working parts ",
So this Greek lad thought the Linings were the working parts, And smeared grease all over the linings !,
The Foreman came back from Road test and said !, ----------- I had better leave that bit out !!.
I have been using the club 8” brakes for the last 8 or 9 years (21k miles) and have not experienced this problem except when the bike has been stood for a few days and the humidity was very high. After a few applications of the brakes the squeal goes away. For the most part the bike (52 shadow) is used 2-3 times a week so it’s not really a problem. However these brakes are fully bedded in and I do use them to their full capability a lot of the time. I wonder if your bike just needs some miles and some hard usage to get them to bed in and behave?Hi, thanks to all for your replies. I'll wait a little longer before I respond, I would have thought that there must be other users of the 8" brake that have experienced the same problem unless they can state otherwise. Perhaps they could also advise when they purchased their brake package from the Spares Company.
I was on the VOC, Coventry Section Stand at Founders Day over the weekend and a member from the East Midland's Section with the same front brake set up had exactly the same brake squeal. Having just started his machine, he was only check braking when mounted whilst manoeuvring from the club stand setting but unfortunately I only noticed this as they were leaving, so no time to chat.
