Just stumbled onto this site, signed in and hopefully will get some possible answers to my problem. I have a 88 GL1500 with 75,000 miles, a grinding condition has developed that is more vibration than a sound. At first this would occur only when driving and leaning off center to the left.I have turned engine off ( in neutral) at speed and noise was still present with above conditions. I initially thought front left wheel bearing......but now that the noise is present both left and right lean I am not so sure.Also I am trying to feel for vibration while driving and I am believing noise is coming from rear wheel. This noise/vibration almost feels like vibrating plastic panel at high speeds rather than a metalic grind, but the pitch is relatively the same from say 25mph to 70mph. Any clues before I pull my rear wheel assembly ? Thanks guys for any helpful thoughts.
