This thread looks interesting...so brake squeal was a problem in '16 for the T120 and a year later Triumph responds and designs rubber dampers for their '17 models? That's a very good response from Triumph, even if it looks a bit funny.
Since we don't have any '18 or '19 cb1100s in the U.S., I'm wondering if the front brake squeal has appeared on any cb1100 in non-U.S. markets. If the problem is only for '17 models, then a question to ask would be is the brake system for the '17 the same as it is for '18 and later models? If not, then looking at the differences in the braking system between '17 and later models could be very telling.
