Also had the same when I changed the pads on Miss Ophic's Honda Shadow. I changed them for HH sintered pads because the single disk front brake was woefully underpowered. It didn't help but did make that noise

the pads are fine . it is EBC sintered I think. It does make the sound and braking is ok but feel there is something wrong which I take it it is just the sound of the pads and nothing else
