Yup. Sloptails are "Creeky". Start it up and ride off...You wont hear nothing but the rumble of them pipes and in my case wierd noises from the speedo and console!!
Mine creeks. Always has. The new Crossbones I was sitting on the other day didnt creek much though.
Suppose they need to get some dirt and road grime up in there to really get the sloptail "Creek" going!!

Mine does the same thing. The dealer greased the shocks or something and it corrected it for the rest of last season, but now it's back and I'm to lazy to take it back.
After you ride it for awhile and everything gets warm and lubed up, it stops. At least mine does.

When I was kid back in the 70's and my Ma took me pants shopping we would always go to K-Mart straight to the Husky pant section.
Now that our country is PC there isnt a Husky section anymore
Maybe mine creaks as after all these years I'm still in the now unmentionable Husky section and the Moco is letting me know Via the creak??? Bastards!!

Creeking
Spray inside your shocks through the little holes in them with white lithium grease, also spray the bushings connecting the shocks to the frame. If you hold a shop towel behind where your spraying, all that *hit won't get everywhere attracting sand and dirt.
