Default Road King Squeak

I hear a squeak when I go over a bump&nbsp\\;on my 02 Road King.&nbsp\\; I bought it new and it has over 57K miles on it, so&nbsp\\;I know when noise is normal and when&nbsp\\;it is&nbsp\\;annoying.&nbsp\\; This is annoying!&nbsp\\; I have been trying to locate the squeak for the last 4 months, with no success. FYI, when I put my foot on the rear passenger foot pegs or slightly touch the jiffystand while driving the noise goes away. I have replaced the spring and even put a rubber hose around&nbsp\\;the frame where it touches, but it still squeaks. I took&nbsp\\;both rear footpegs&nbsp\\;off to isolate the sqweak, again it still sweaks.&nbsp\\; It must be on the frame somewhere, but I will be damed if I can pin point it.&nbsp\\;Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Spray silicone on the drive belt, take a ride and see if the sqeak is still there

So you are saying it squeaks when your feet on on your floorboards and it does not when they are not? Hmm...

Thanks for the reply, but maybe I did not explain it correct.&nbsp\\; First, it's not the belt.&nbsp\\; The sqweak is more like two pieces of metal moving against each other.&nbsp\\; When I put&nbsp\\;one foot on the rear pegs (either one) while driving I somehow insulate/ground/minimize the vibration so it goes away.&nbsp\\; If my wife is riding on the bike it also goes away.
&nbsp\\;
The nosie occurs when I am driving and the bike hits a bump/crack or&nbsp\\;ruff road.&nbsp\\; The nosie can be heard when&nbsp\\;I have my feet on the drivers floorboard.&nbsp\\; I havn't tried to take both feet off the floorboards yet to see if it still occurs.
