    I have this noise sort of a squealing sound that seems to happen when I corner but only on left handers and only at 80-100k's any ideas?

    Sounds like it is something behind me maybe back wheel, belt, pulley.

    I thought it might  be those hollow axles wistling in the breeze, however I don't think it is that now.

    Anyone have a similar sound on theirs?

    Nope - good luck though.

    Just remember: it's meant to make weird noises.
    It's 30k worth of rustic brilliance.

    Hey, just thought I'd let you know - mine used to make a weird squeaky noise whenever I really flicked my wrist.
    A mate told me to check the seal on my petrol cap and tighten it right up - no more squeak.

    Don't ask me why, but the noise is gone now.

    PS - Japs don't make weird noises, but no-one scored a root saying "It's a Suzuki Boulevard"

    Hahaha good one Simo
    Yeah a Suzuki boulevard prabably wouldn't even get a pro a root
    Its a continuous squealing pretty high pitch, maybe the belt is a whisker tight.
    I will keep looking and tightening and adjusting everything until I find it.
