    Did you ever fix your front end?

I am going to check tomorrow from a cold start, but I guess it's a possibility that one of the calibers hangs just a tad?? I cleaned the RF prior to brakework but the other side has only had an exterior wash, and brake fluid exchange, so who knows if last brake job was done to a high standard. It does not seem anything threatening by any means, heck most people wouldn't hear it, lol. I'll keep an eye on it.

    ps: after sound was slightly present, turns, leaning, heck dragging the brakes did not change it.

    It got a bunch better after a great cleaning. This fall I plan to replace front tire, and will do a better inspection. I still feel the bearings get warm, grease thins, maybe the slight noise I hear? I only wear a 1/2 helmet, so I hear everything, and I am a perfectionist so.....

    Or you could cut down the full length wings till you like em.
    Ha, I actually plan to fabricate a test with gaffers tape and thin cardboard. I have concluded that my Ultimate King seat sits wider, therefore my legs do not sit as tucked to the bike as others may encounter, so might feel the heat a bit more as a result.
