Default brake question
Hey guys! New here. Recently got a 2000 wideglide. Got a question.. When i pull in my front brake lever, It is making a deep winding sound from, it seems like, the left front. My brakes work fine. Is this something to be worried about?

I knew it needed to be changed. I can feel it. Didn't know that would have anything to do with it. Thanks!

Front brake always collapses the front end at any speed and when it starts to grind it's time to pull the tube, inspect them and the springs and while you're at it you might just get yourself a nice set of progressive rate springs from Progressive.
