Default Switchback front end noise

I have a 2012 Switchback which I like a lot. However, the front end makes a lot of noise when riding on rough roads. It's done this since i bought the bike. I've taken it to the dealer twice to have it checked out but they say there is nothing wrong with it?

Has anyone else had the same issue?

What kind of noise? Are you positive it is coming from the front end? Has the dealership checked the steer bearing adjustment?

You're going have to give a better description of what's going on...How does the front end feel?

My buddy had a noise and thought it was the front end....ended up being the front gas tank bolts so it rattled at higher speeds/rougher roads.

Check your tank, fender, and other bolts that may have pieces that would cause a rattle. Doubt it's anything serious with the forks or steering.

This sounds almost too easy, but check the exhaust heat shields. And when you look at the tank bolt put a wrench on it, even though it may feel tight you only need a quarter turn or so to make it right.
