Default brakes?
I have a very loud noise that sounds like brakes but its present even hen I'm not using the brakes even coasting. I was told that the noise was normalon a Dynabecause the calipers were always in contact, true? Any suggestions?

I have an 03 low rider and have never had this problem. Take it to the dealer and have them check it out.

The brake do seem to rub a little, but you shouldn't be able to hear them over the sound of your motor.

No that's not normal - have you checked the condition of the pads and the alignment of the rotor in the callipers?
