Squeak??
I have a 2017 Ultra that has had a squeak at idle...especially when hot... from the day if was new. Dealer said it's normal but I don't think so. This is my 4th Untra...96, 2 103's and this one. None of the previous bikes has this noise. Any suggestions??

Lube the rear hangers for the mufflers, my 2018 Road King did this. I pulled the shallow u shaped plate out and put a light coating of Teflon grease around the middle where it touches the rubber support. Probably good to pull the rubber parts out and do the outside of them too. Light coating only is needed .
My 1991 FLHS did this too.
Back to the 2018, it's been six months three wash jobs and no squeak.
Other squeakers: exhaust joints, exhaust supports, heat shields. Perhaps a fairing support?

The crossover pipe can rattle and/or squeak. It may need a shim to have it's bracket make it secure against movement. My '17 Road King exhibited what you describe, and I had the dealer tighten the bracket during my 5K service.
