Default High Pitched squeeking/Chirping

Recently, I have been hearing a high pitched squeeking or chirping noise coming from the front end of my 2008 Herritage. It is driving me nuts and I can't seem to pinpoint the source. It occurs when I hit bumps mostly. I am taking it in for the 5K service Wednesday and want to point them in the right direction. Anyone else dealt with this? I checked all the screws I could rerach the and acorn bolts on the windshied and they all seem tight. Thanks.

Might be a bearings problem.

I would check the bearings too... could look at the tubes see if there is any scaring... could be a bushing... got any oil in the tubes??? Just throwing stuff out there...

Mine was doing the exact same thing and turned out to be the front fender was slightly misaligned and was rubbing on the tire when going over a bump. Drove me crazy but was an easy fix.
