    Whistling noise

    Checked out the search, but found nothing on this. Been hearing a whistling noise from the front of bike.Found it, Both the break an clutch handles have small holes under the balled ends. Wind hits mine just rite an whistle like crazy. Anyone else have this happen. Fixed it with a little clear silicone.

    Only whistle I get is from my Madstad windshield. Depending on height, angle and speed. A few others had the same issue,,,,, now I wonder if the Madstad is directing air to the levers and it is not the shield itself...

    THAT IS FUNNY !!! I get that same whistling sound on mine. Since I don't have a Madstad, it has to be the levers. The sound does go away above 80 mph.
