how is everyone? i am on an '09 super glide custom. great bike so far (totally stock so far too but i just got my straight shot slip-ons from the ups guy so i'll be looking forward to them).
anyway, mainly as of late i have been hearing this rather noticeable "howl" coming from the right side at speeds less than highway speeds (that maybe because i just can't hear it at highway speeds). the bike seems to be running and riding (and shifting) fine. i heard it now and again a while back but now it seems to be getting more constant and more noticeable. any thoughts?
