I find on most S&S grands with a squeak that it comes from the leather above and/or below the pitman. The best thing to do is replace the leather, since it is probably all greased up by earlier attempts to eliminate the noise. You might also check the pivot pins-they get corroded and make noise too-just polish them on a buffer. David Graham @niu.edu Northern Illinois University Dekalb IL
