Yea, you told me that before Brad Sucks that they put that cheap crap on an overall nice bike. The speedo is on the bars and the light cluster is on the tank. I had all of that off last night and took it out of the equation. The sound isn't coming from that, it is litterally under the tank. I thought for a while it might be one of the heat shields on my V & H's but all of those are tight. There is definately something under the tank. Oh, yea I know about the headlight thing too, nothing there either. Brad, I may see if I can hook up with you for a couple of minutes so you can hear it sometime or I may pop the tank off when I have time to see what's I find. Let me know if your interested.
I did the same thing. Banging with my hand thinking it was the heat shields. One of my tips came loose as well. I figure just runnin a wrench around the bike once a month will keep everything tight!
