Harleys made noises from day one, but ya, got that hum in first only, gears may be not aligning 100%. Valve noises, pushrods turning quiets down and gets louder again, little squeal in front end, goes away if I go real fast. Clunk in the back somewhere. Good thing I quit smoking Loco weed years ago, man, you wanta talk about some strange noises?

Those 'sounds' that our Harley's have can drive us crazy. There's been a 'buzzing' sound somewhere on the front of my '02 Heritage since I bought it last year.
It 'buzzes' at about 56 mph. It bugged the hell outa me for awhile. I tried touching everything I could reach while riding trying to find it. I finally gave up and just put up with it, and riding at other speeds so not to hear it. I worried for awhile that something would be loose and fall off but when it didn't I just kept riding.
A few months ago I changed the headlight and passing lamps to high intensity halogens. Last week I got one of those 'rountuits' and readjusted the passing lamps.
DAYUM ... the 'buzzing' went away!!!!!!
