Default I have a problem.

I posted this over in the 'General' section too, but figured i'd post it here and see what responses I would get.

I have a 1997 Fatboy, 31,000 miles. This just started last night. After it has been running and you turn it off, you hear a kind of "rubber-meets-rubber" kind of squeek. Maybe it ISN'T rubber at all, but that's what it sounds like. So, anyone have any clue as to what this squeeking sound could be?
