Noise Help!
Ok. Got a 2019 SGS. I have a humming noise between 50-60 mph.
I’ve done the normal checks, squeeze the front brake handle, noise is still there. Happens in 4-6th gears. Noise does not change pitch with transmission revs.
changed the front wheel bearings. Tires are normal pressure and not worn. Has anyone had problems with the fairing on the street glide? Maybe the plastic valance for the vent? I’m reaching here, but any true help or ideas is appreciated.
thanks!

There are many of us that had problems with that front tire. Here's some reading for you.

@702 woke up earlier than I did this morning.......... C3 was my first guess. My exact symptoms, but mine also changed pitch while riding thru a sweeping curve at the same MPH. OP, how long ago did you buy it and how long/miles have you ridden it. Also, what is the date code on it. I was hoping the Michelin had taken care of this by now.........

I’ll take it for a ride this afternoon and put some leans into it at speed and see if the sound goes away.

thanks for the info. I will for sure take it for a spin this afternoon and get some turns in and see if the noise goes away. I’ll have to check the batch number and date code later this afternoon and get back to ya.
