Sounds like another left rear wheel bearing.

See if there is any play (looseness) in the rear wheel.

Side to side, angular, whatever.  Might take some muscle!

lil bull had this same issue.....

I rode his bike and could feel the vibration in the driver pegs.  I noticed it was worse on "rear braking".  I rolled to about 15mph and put the bike in neutral (accelerate in first gear then shift to neutral, don't get the bike going too fast you can cause stress to the tranny "forcing" it into neutral).   You just want to be rolling down the road in neutral and then once you do this apply the rear brake.  If vibration worsens then you your chances of it being a wheel bearing is my suggestion.  The honda shop showed me his wheel as they pulled the axle out and the balls were falling out of the wheel....

Ricky-D, as we have discussed before regarding a wheel bearing failure is problem matic on the left rear but you and I don't agree and that's okay... to each his own..   Wink

Studly, the noise I had the other day, went bye bye on the way home after just a couple miles, I jacked it up and checked for play when I got home, I still want to do the double row mod one of these days.  Hoser  Cheesy

Does it get amplified when you put on the rear brakes?  

Does it sound kinda like this?...............

Or this?...............

It's your left-rear wheel bearing.  Replace both the left and the right.  Not too expensive.....even if you have someone else do it.

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
