Default RE: Chirping Rear End

Hey, I thought I was the only one that noticed it only on concrete. Different exhausts, with or without the detachable tourpak, solo or with a rider I still hear it. Even lubed the rubber muffler mounts and it happens. I've given up on trying to find what the root cause is.

I had the same chirp. Took it to the dealer today for a new rubber spacer. Owner said to slide a penny in between the bracket and the rubber spacer. Damned if it didn't work. The 1 cent fix. Cheapest damn thing ever at an HD dealer!
