Default another newbie!

Hey All,

Another new guy (from NH) around here.. I picked up my first HD (always rode Jap bikes up to this point, last was a VTX1800) last year, a '05 RKC.. I came here in search of help with the dreaded squeal from the from the front brake..

Even with that, its been the best bike I've owned! I'll have to see if the dealer actually fixes it this weekend.. I've found some excellent posts here on how to correct it, I just have a hard time with having to fix something that really shouldnt have been a problem to begin with (Esp after dropping 21k on the bike and accessories)..

Anyway looks like a great group of people around here!
