<p>Never heard of that... I'll have to check it out... seems like I have it under control now, though. Swapped out the front rotor and beveled the pad edges... thanks!</p>

Jason's solution seems to have work for you. Here's another that worked for me: put a couple of drops of automotive brake pad shudder stop (CarQuest - neon orange) between the back of the pad and caliper. It apparently is a polymer that dampens the harmonic vibration that seems to occur when the caliper clamps up on the rotor... worked for me. It was $10 and comes in a bottle large enough to last me 15 lifetimes of riding - no mini-size available, unfortunately.

<p>Hey Jason, meant to get back to you before... Tried your tip and it seems to have worked great! Thanks...</p>

Never heard/thought about sanding the pad edges... I'll have to try it, thanks!

you can sand down the corners of the pad material so there's not such a sharp edge. Just enough to round the corner. That has helped. Are you using the bb5 rotor? Some of the overly drilled out rotors make that noise more; the bb5 rotor is not usually that bad.
