It could easily be a water pump, generator bearing, or similar part that starts squealing after things warm up a bit. But you've eliminated the water pump and generator by removing the belt) The shaft of a bearing that's worn may start "walking" around inside the bore, (chattering from side to side) and cause the squealing. A bump can cause that to start and another bump could stop it. Is it speed related (change pitch with different speeds)?
Anyway, my vote is a bearing. I'd check the front wheel bearings first to see if they're binding up, possibly causing the inner race of one to chatter on the spindle.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
