While driving to work this morning I noticed that each time I'd slowed down to take a curve to the left I could here this low pitch whinning sound coming from the front wheel or fork area. My feelings was that it is a wheel bearing type of noise, but not sure. The bike is a 06 Heritage Classic with 9k on it, oem tires with good life left and air pressure set at factory recommendation. Once under power there is no more noise. Any ideas?

Well, don't take any chances with your wheel bearings, but I've always gotten that hum when turning left (or at least anytime I listened) with Dunlop tires.

Had uint checked and you're right it was tire noise, thanks for the help. You nailed it.
