howling noise, H E L P
Last month I had to replace my back tire. While they were doing it I had brake pads put on the rear. Now here is the problem which could be a fluke. On the first good rideI went on and after about 20 miles I herd a howl or it sounded like a wheel bearing going out if it was a car. I only noticed it because I coasted at about 40 miles an hour and heard the sound loud and clear. When I applied breaks, no change still howled. The shop I went too is a local Hogg shop which has a good rep. Did they put the axel bolts to tight ( I don't know, I'm not a wrench), orwas it theway the pads were put on or is it coming from the gear box or what. It is an 07 ride. Hell I'm confused. I will probably have to go into the local Harley shop. However, on Monday, tomorrow I will be taking it back to the shopwhere I had the work done, Ineed them to assure me it was not caused by them,if it wasthey can fix itorI'll be getting my a_s chewed out by the Harley wrench. Can't win now days, I won't even start about the I R S.

Sounds like a belt whine have the dealer re align the reat tire. That happens sometimes after getting a new tire.

..tire is rubbing, might have wheel spacing off, stick a finger between fender and tire on both sides and see if there is adequate space.

Thanks for all responses, I like the one about my wife's legs. I'll tell her to leave the peg leg home next time.
I took it back to the wrench today, he is looking into it. If he is as good as others say he should check all alignments first, we'll see.
