Front Brake Noise
Wondering if anyone has any ideas. The noise from the front brakes on my "07" Road King Classic is driving me out of my mind! I know that some minor friction noise from the pads against the rotors may be normal but I can here the "scraping noise at 35 mph! The other day I was riding in bumper to bumper traffic and in the lane next to me was a "89" gold wing and I was the one making all the noise!! took it to the dealer once, then again the other day for the 1000 mile service and told them to fix the front brakes, both times I got the same response" that noise is normal" Here's the thing since buying the bike I've had the service department change the rims from stock to the chrome profile rims, then had the front end changed out to a chrome one, so the front assembly has been removed and reinstalled twice. this noise is constant, when I give the lever a little squeeze it stops. Any ideas, I'm doing a cross country ride next month and know this noise will just ruin the trip. Thanks

RE: Front Brake Noise
Get floating rotors! They are awesome! No more noise (of any kind)
