Title: Loud front squeak on bumps
Post by SavageMan99 on 06/15/19 at 06:33:29

Rebuilt my shocks. Very stiff now. I have a loud noise, sounds like the horn, it isn't tho.
Any ideas? Would to much fluid do this?

Btw, if anyone cares, I fixed my rear shock issue by moving my license plate out on some pipe nipple spacers. It was hitting the tire.
Ugly bob is slowly coming along.

Spring rubbing on the slider?
If you roll forward and grab the brake can you hear it?
If so, can you make it do it sitting still?
Then, if you can hear it, get someone to put hands on the forks and see if both sides are doing it.

Front bake dragging on a warped rotor?

I put the harley springs in it, maybe thats it. It happens when the front end bounces going down the road. Its stiff enough that it's tough to bounce when still.

Which is exactly what happens if you accidentally put the wheel spacers in on the wrong side. (Ask me how I know.)

I have stiffer fork springs from RYCA, which are actually a HD spring. No noises from them, but the front end should move. Sounds like maybe you did put too much oil in them, but not sure that would be your noise.
