Default RE: E-Glide Primary Question

ORIGINAL: Road Head

Well it wasn't the primary. Primary is full, so I just retightened the bolts and it leaks no more. However, the sound, this "roaring" noise is still present. It sound likes its coming from the frontend and there is a vibration along with it. Any ideas? Wheel bearing, rotors warped....[&:]
Check your tires for cupping. Just guessing from what you've posted, but sounds like you hear a roar (hum), & get a mild vibration on turns, or possibly anytime you're not perfectly vertical. Big bikes tend to cup the tires towards the edges & when you bank the bike they hum (roar). Let us know what you find.

Interesting, the front tire is new, but the rear is in need of replacement and does appear to be cupping or feathering on the edges.
