Mine started doing that when I changed out the bars to mini apes. Went with an older model brake line, that has a rubber hose section. I'm thinking I'm not getting enough direct pressure to keep the pads from pushing back, and causing a harmonic. I'll know in a week or two, when I get the Diamondback SS lines on.

I had a similar problem but the humming was noticeable while laying into a turn also...turned out to be the POS Stock DunFlops...got rid of those junky assed tires and all is well in Gotham again...
