A Question on a Road King - Something Rubbing/Catching

    Rode 200 kays today on my 2010 FLHR and became aware of something catching/rubbing ever so slightly at the front end.  Obviously I could only hear it at low speed.  I have 3900 km on the clock and my only thought was a warped disc.  I did ride in rain on both of the previous weekends.  There was no heat in either disc and I don't have the ready means of jacking up the bike (nor the mechanical confidence).  Any thoughts?

    Thanks for that, it seems to be the only explanation which makes sense.  I guess my only concern is whether I will do any damage if I leave it until the 8,000 serviice.  Frankly, I don't know how long it's been there but i only became awar of it yesterday.

    I am loving the bike though.  I came off an 08 Street Bob and initially wondered if I had done the right thing.  I have no such doubts now.  I generally ride with my other half who's on a Bonneville.  Two weekends ago we did 300+ on the Saturday.  Last week 400 on the Saturday and yesterday 200.  Coming home yesterday evening I still went past my turn-off and went around the block just one more time because I didn't want to get off.
