Front brake noise
Thx to everyone who responded. I washed the bike in the daylight and found a 12 inch piece of metal (thicker than a coat hangar) lodged under the frame. It almost appears to be from a shopping cart.

The ported rotors make a buzzing sound when they pass through the pads. It is most likely normal, but hard to say without hearing it. I can only hear mine when the bike is off and I am coasting.

I agree with BluBob. My 2008 rocker does the same thing.

My 2000 does it but I'm not concerned about it. The pads are still good. I'll see if it goes away when the time comes to replace the pads. If it really bugs you,put on some louder pipes! (<:

Night Train does the same thing. So did my Buell. None of my Jap bikes did.

Does the same thing. But it never did it until the 1000 mile checkup and of course you know what they said when I took it back.... Oh that's normal. It wasn't normal when I bought it.
