Default Squealing from rear end

I am getting a rather loud squealing coming from the rear of my 2001 Ultra Classic.This happens when i roll on the gas or dump it quickly.I have checked the belt and made all the right adjustments etc.There's no problem hearing it riding behind me.Even over the sound of the pipes.Any suggestions????

Squealing from the rear end is indicative of too much protein, usually in the form of beans. Try beano. Lol

Have " Beast reduction" done on your bike.

Well I'll chime in with my 2 cents..
How did you check the belt tension?
Is the belt glazed,how about the pulleys?
Did you check the wheel bearings?

Did you check for signs of your tire rubbing on something up inside the fender?
Check the rear wheel alignment to be sure the wheel is true to the frame.
Don't let the funny guys get ya down. They're just showin that they don't know much about their bikes to deal with something like this.

Oh kiss my *** ! The op writes in with some lame question about squealing from the rear end, I think most figured he was just being funny. Somebody thats got a bike since 2001 and presumably longer should know what basics to check for before going on a forum and asking people like you, that is people with no sense of humor and no real knowledge of bikes other than what you read in 8th grade shop class.
Go help some ole lady across the street, will ya !!
