something got messed up
little bit of a read ahead
well i just got back from riding tonight and something went wrong. i was on the last straight away to my house and decided to get on it and rip it some. well when i got home to stop my bike was making a really random and weird noise, it almost sounds like a turkey call and it sounds like its coming from the bottom left side of the motor.
my bike is a 2001 superglide fxd. any help or ideas would be really appreciated, casue not being able to ride really really fu*kin sucks

If the belt is chipping out, the chunks might be hitting on the guard. Just take a look at the belt, run your hands around it and you'll know right away if that's it. Careful for possible sharp spots on worn or beat up metal tho...

Couple of questions for clarification...Are you saying it makes the noise both when riding and standing still? Does it change with engine RPM's or only with ground speed? Trying to narrow down the possible causes. Engine related OR "anything else"
