Finally found the noise culprit.

A buddy of mine bought me a guardian bell after a yosemite ride last riding season... I complained to my wife of a knock, slap, chirp while on uneven pavement...

While washing the bike... I used degreaser and got low with the wand to hose all the road grim off and slap slap slap ring knock knock...

Done with the Guardian Bells.

 

You shouldn't have done that ... :>(

 

Say it isn't so...Cue that “Twilight Zone” music! “ ...NU-NUNU-NU! NUNU-NU-NU! NU-NU-NUNU...!”

 

I have had those on my bikes in the past. Brother's Girlfriend bought me one for my VTX 1800. I had nothing but problems with it after I put it on the bike. too it off and no more issues. Aunt bought me one for Christmas a few years back and its been in the cabinet over my fridge ever since. Call me what you will but I wont install another on any bike I ever own.

 

Any problems with your fridge?

 

The service writer at my Harley shop said in 17 years he's never done an estimate on a bike with a bell... Doesn't mean it wasn't ripped off in the crash, but never the less... haha

 

Good one!

 

LOL Not yet

 

Would be an interesting poll to see who has a bell and who doesn't. I would start it if I cared.

 

I guess moving it to another location wasnt an option........
