    Recently bought a 2008 RoadKing Classic 96cube and six speed with only around 4000km on the clock. On the second day of owning it, I had been riding for about 45 mins to an hour when I heard a noise just start from nowwhere. Wasn't there then just started, best way I can discride it is a high pitch, low volume noise maybe bearing / gearbox/ I dont really know. It maybe a normal noise for this bike that I'm not use too? Does anyone know of any issues for this motor and gear box combinaion?

    I have the same model but just the plain old Road King and I'm sure it wouldn't be normal.
    I would take it in for a check up because it might cause some major damage if serious.
    Otherwise apart from the usual motor noises and gear change clicks and clacks I have never heard the one you described.
    It might be an easy fix you never know.

    If you haven't already done so, have a trustworthy independent Harley mechanic go over the bike head to toe.
    Whilst the above advice is good, you really need to know what you have with the bike, even though it has very low kms on it. That is not always a sign that the previous owner looked after it correctly.
    Let your mechanic get to know the bike from the start so he knows what he's dealing with and give you advice.
    I did, and it was worth it.
