Default strange vibrations

I will try to explain what is happening,&nbsp\\; when cruising down a straight road, with no load on motor everything feels very smooth... when I lean in either direction, I feel and slightly hear a vibration and rubbing sound coming from the front wheel area.&nbsp\\; if I had to guess I would say the caliper/ pads
&nbsp\\; has any one else experienced anything like this?&nbsp\\; any ideas?
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; thanks&nbsp\\; 2005 Road King Custom 7000 mi.

Check the drive belt - rubbing on the belt guard.&nbsp\\; More than likely the noise.

Front tire with uneven wear, maybe it's cupped or something similar.
If so, get the front and rear tires aligned.
