squeek in the front end

[Gavin_Sons]

I have a squeek in the handlebars/triple tree when i turn the front wheel. Maybe some bushings need replaced or re packed. Looked for a grease fitting and no luck. Any ideas guys?

Maybe the steering stem bearing, but you Might want to post this in the tech forum.

It can get a little dirty in there. Maybe a little WD40 would help. Or the bearing may need retorqued. If you got any aftermarket chrome under the tank, it could rub. Mine did. Sweet looking I/S by the way. Love the color.

Thanks fudgie. I really liked your bike too. Not to mention the sweet patches on your vest. Gave my wife a good laugh. I only wish our bike looked half as good as most of the bikes there saturday. Its a work in progress though. Ill try spraying some wd 40 around there and see if that helps. It dosent seem to be loose just squeeks. Didnt notice it until we got home saturday after the ride. Needless to say thats the longest trip she has been on in 4 years.

Your the man fudgie, looked like the chrome between the tank and tree was rubbing. Sprayed it down with wd 40 and no mpre squeek. Thanks man, oh by the way you talked me into the car tire

Good to hear! 

From the way it sounded I might have talked her into those 2 patches to. 

Dont sell yourself short on the looks of your bike. Everyone liked it alot.
