Unfortunately the squealing began early in the bike's mileage (5000 miles), before anything had been touched. It's probably not unheard of that the bike might come from the factory with shortcomings like that but I pretty much discounted them. At any rate, the squealing is gone now, and I'll probably never know what caused it for sure. It's interesting to note some Bloore Triumph Bonneville's had a similar problem with squealing front brakes. I seem to recall washers had to installed between the disk and wheel. I assume washers had to be installed between the caliper and fork to retain the alignment. Thanks for the reply Klamathonian.
Mine began very early, at about 500 miles.
