Hi Rebyl, live on the shore in AKL, own a RK 08, have the same whine in 5th gear, dealer not interested, say its normal, typical not interested reply from them, am sure you are enjoying the Ultra, both wife and I ride, she has a sporty custom 1200. We both have been round the states twice, also over ther last year when you were, probably passed each other in Sturgis, spent 5 months and 30,000 kms.
Rgds,
Rod
