What's the size of the tire you put on? Most of not all monsters take a 120/60 on the front, if you put on a 120/70 the tire might be grinding against the fender.

160.  Clearance between tire & fender isn't great; I may throw the SBK fender back on.  It does seem a bit like fender rubbing.

Did you use windex to put the tire on? If so did you leave the rotors on during the swap? I did that last time and since then I get a little rubbing noise when coming to a complete stop or pulling away from a stop after the brakes are warmed up. I wiped them off after the change but I think you have to use brake cleaner to get the residue off. I would describe the noise as more of a rub then a grind but either term could apply.

Nope, spray bottle w water in it.  The grinding isn't druing stopping or taking off.  It's just rolling along, at varying speeds.  Not constant.

A-ight, appears to be fixed - I swapped out the fender, loosened & re-toqued all the bolts.  I don't think it was the fender; no rub marks on the inside.  So it was probably the torque on the axle and/or pinch bolts.

Thanks all for the support!
