Duh, stupid me. I had been running 38F / 40R. This morning I reset the TP to those recommended by Honda. It was after that I noticed the new sounds. Guess the easiest thing to do is increase the TP and see what happens. Don't know why this piece of critical info slipped my mind.
Thanks for the reminder.

Mine does the same the thing. Got new tyres and it's not as noticeable. Just the wear difference as said before.
I often hear of problems when running too low of a pressure but never anything with too high a pressure. I run 41 to 46 in both tires and no problems with cupping, singing or any abnormal wearing. Usually get 12 or so on the rear and about 15 on the front with good brand tires like E3 etc.. Just wondering about any disadvantage to even 48 or more pounds of pressure. Think erring on the high side is better than on the low. Thinking it is better to air up at a high number and leak down to perfect than air up at perfect and leak down to low. Every tire I've ever had loses a little air over time.
Today I increased the front TP to 40 and a lot of the singing went away. Ran my hand over the sides of the tire and could not feel any feathering or cupping. After, just to satisfy my curiosity, I reinstalled the fork brace. When I originally installed it I torqued the bolts to 10 ft/lbs. I noticed that the rear bolts were not even snug. Time for some Blue Loctite. Reinstalling took a little more noise away. Looks like it was a combination of things. Thanks for the suggestions.
