squeeky brakes-any tips?

On my kz650c1 my brakes squeel like crazy. I've had the caliper's off, scuffed the pads, cleaned everything and all is in good order. They still squeal under hard braking. Anyone know of any products or such to help with this? I'm running ebc green pads. Thanks for your time.:)

"ah just put some butter on it." joking, joking. what kind of shape are your rotors in compared to your pads? if your rotors have some deeper grooves in them, the pads will wear unevenly and start making light contact as they take shape of the rotor which can cause some squealing. or you could just put some bad fork seals in so everytime you hit a bump the whole bike gets lubed;)
good luck!
