front brake buzzing sound
guys,
I'm looking for some validation here. Whenever I apply my front brake, I hear a buzzing sound the whole time (until I release the brake). This is more obvious when I am going at higher speeds. The bike stops fine but the sound is bothering me. I had the dealer check it out and they told me that this was normal due to the new type of brake material that is used in order to be environmentally friendly. My bike is an 09 Fatboy. Just wondering if the dealer was blowing smoke or if any of you guys hear the same thing. I should add that the brake pads are stock and I have a stock exhaust and the bike only has 1400 miles on it. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Floating rotors and better aftermarket pads will provide much better braking and it's a relatively cheap mod
