Pesky squeak @1400rpm...damn clutch cable fairing grommet. Shot with silicone...squeak gone.

You must have good ears! Between my pipes and the stereo I'm sure I'd never have heard that!

Now this is funny. I was thinking to myself about how my wifes hearing is sooo much better than mine. She can hear a gnat fart across the road. Older i get, the worse the hearing is. My suggestion is to turn the radio up, and get louder pipes. Its a Harley. The clunk, make all sorts of noises... My .02

Enjoy !!!
