bearings can go bad anytime but probly not that soon.
mine made an annoying whirring from the primary from almost new until i got rid of the auto adjuster and used something else.but i wouldnt call it a wistle squeal.
good luck

That's what I'm doing in the morning. Hopefully it's something they can do quick because I have a 600+ mile ride on Sunday. Not to mention every dealer in the area is so damn busy with bike week stuff.

Haha not too bad. It was windy as hell. Leaning into the wind a pretty good angle and still going straight.

Being a '12, I wouldn't think you would have this issue but does it stop whistling when you pull in on the clutch when decelerating. My 03 road king did this, sound coming from left side. Changed clutch bearing......whistling stopped.

Start the bike on the stand in neutral, put your ear by the rear of the primary. Listen for it. Pull in the clutch lever to see if it goes away. Do this several times. If it does stop with the clutch lever pulled in my opinion is a toasted inner primary bearing. If it doesn't it's probably something simple but I would check that first.
