Whistle sound
Okay, I have a 2006 road king and the other day the bike fell over on its side while in the back of a uhaul. No noticeable damage was done to the bike. I took it to work and on the way home, while leaving the parking garage, I noticed a faint high pitched whistling sound. It only happens when I lay steady on the throttle at around 20 mph. It never did it before and I can't figure it out. Does anybody have an idea of what I should be looking at? I believe it is coming from the rear end. Maybe the exhaust. I'm not sure. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If it fell onto the exhaust it could have created an exhaust leak or if it fell on the air cleaner an intake leak. Based on the slowed throttle response and if the sound was consistent versus coming and going I'd lean toward an intake leak. Check that everything looks straight and is tight. You might need to replace the intake gasket which is an easy enough fix.
