Here is an "odd" one. I hear or maybe just feel a low noise from front wheel anytime I make the slightest left or right motion while moving(change lane, avoid pothole), or make a turn. It sounds or feels like a bad bearing but it goes away when bike is going straight. With it jacked up I do not feel it. Tiresare Metzler 880 on '83 wheels and look okay. Wheels have NEW bearings. Front end has a fork brace.IHave checked axle, rotors, calipers, bolts. I have no shake or wobble issues with front end. A friend suggested the front tire may be the cause??? Anybody encounter anything like this their ride???

Nope! My guess is the tire also.

Check the steering head bearings.

Could a brake pad be rubbing? when you turn it may be making contact

Front tire would be my guess.

Are you sure it's coming from the front? Sounds like a classic cupped tire noise to me.

Carefully look at the front and rear tire for protruding treads.

If the front tire tread pattern changes As it rolls over the edge,youu will get a different sound when you are leaned over and riding on the different part of the tread.On my 1100 I used to have the difference became more pronounced as the tire wore,even though the tread was safe and not showing unusual wear.
