annoying squeak

On my 1996 Heritage Softtail Classic I get a squeak in the front end when riding two up. I don't hear it when I am alone. I can't find anything loose and it is annoying to listen to this chirp, chirp all day. Any ideas?

RE: annoying squeak

No doubt it's actually a woman making the usual annoying noises in your ear and you just perceive it as coming from the front because the sound is bouncing off the windshield.

Either lose the woman or learn to live with it like other men have to do.

RE: annoying squeak

That was my first guess but after the duct tape test, I think it is somehow bike related.

RE: annoying squeak

just shooting in the dark...
1-is noise from front forks when they bounce? low in oil or dry seals?
2-check horn bracket, horn assembly, does it vibrate enough to strike engine?
3-heat shields?
