08 Road King - Engine Noise

Hello all! I have recently bought on 08 Road King. Noticed some sqeaking or chirping noise from the front of the engine at idle.To me it sounds like it could be a motor mount. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks
Hal

I had a sound similar to what your talking about. It turned out to be the tailpipe bracket was a little loose. It took me a while to figure out where it was coming from. I could have sworn it was the front end.

Re: 08 Road King - Engine Noise

A lot of noises come from the heat shields on the pipes.
