Default 2008 S50

I bought my S50 2 months ago. My first and only complaint was the front brake squealing. The dealer told me to ride with the brakes for a few feet and that would solve the problem; it hasn't. SO I have read in a couple of threads that changing the brake pads and putting grease on the pins solves this noisy problem. Any suggestions as to where I can by a better pad for my bike?

Just about anything would be a better pad than stock LOL! Here is a list of replacement pads:

JP Whitney Pads - ZX064046T
ECB Kevlar Pads - FA103
ECB Double H Sintered Pads - FA103HH
ECB Organic Race Pads - RFA103
SBS Pads - 577
Vesrah Pads - VD330/331/338
Ferodo Pads - FDB389/R

I like the ECB or SBS pads.

My local Suzuki dealer, most local independent shops, cruisercustomizing.com, or any number of websites.

Best prices I've found is www.mawonline.com.

Since I buy for two bikes at a time (wife also rides the same bike) it's even cheaper for shipping for me.
