Following a Topic I posted for "Rear Wheel Noise GL1200" Itook the suggestion of several fellow wingers and replaced both my rear wheel bearing and had oneopenings re-machined to fit a slightly bigger one. There is no more play in the wheel:clapper:, however I still have a rumble sound when I run the bike in gear on the stand. I now suspect there is something wrong with the drive line. After reading several other topics, I am a bit confused...some saymost gl1200 do eminate gear noise from the drive line. Should I take the drive out and verify it?. I would also like to know how to inspect the universal joint...I cant get at it from the booth. My Haynes manual make a lousy referral to this topic!
Thanks for your advice!
