I have a squeak in the rear when riding on a rough road. I don't think it's the shocks but don't know what else it could be. Any ideas?

Many valk drivers seats squeak, mine do.  Including the driver's backrest.

Is your lower fender half loose/wiggly?

I was going to guess shock bushings too.

Some times you can find the squeak with a water pistol.

May simply be the brake pads!

Shock bushings are new but if it is them then what's the fix?

I would put some plumber's waterproof silicone grease on them and if rubber, I would change them out to the polyurethane ones while you had them apart.

I thought my rear suspension was squeaking, even squeaked when I bounced up and down on the stop. Come to find out , my strap that holds the tail pipe chrome cover on the exhaust had broken at the weld, and that was the thing squeaking. This is the second time the little strap has broken, hard to weld that thin metal.
