Default Dyna Suspension Squeak
Last year I noticed my 2000 FXDL would make a loud squeak if it hit a large bump in the road. I took the bike out last night for the first time this year and it was squeaking on every bump i hit. It seems to be coming from the back or just behind my seat. For some reason the bike felt like the rear shocks were too soft, I've never adjusted them.

Any thoughts on what would cause this? Thanks in advance.

Try removing the shocks and lubing the rubber insulators that the shock mounting bolts go through.

Spray some oil or wd40 on the rod that is in the center of your shocks, fixed mine.
