Noise when pushing bike backwards in neutral

[ironmark]

Rear wheel bearings are your problem. Rear wheels bearing went bad on my 08 Road Glide at 16,000 miles the rear pulley bearing went out at 45,000 miles and the bike did make noise while backing up. The noise does sound like it comes from the engine/tranny area but it is your rear bearings. HD got bad bearings in that year and have since change suppliers.

Well, after having the bike off the ground on two occasions I found the problem to be the fuel tank vent hose intermittently rubbing against the belt near the front sprocket. Removed the charcoal canister, but kept the vent hose so the tank could vent. Easy fix once the problem was found. All quiet again. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
