Front end rattle 09 Street Bob
I checked all my fasteners. Checked the rotor and caliper for play. Removed my bell. Only thing I can think is the center nut on the tree. I have read the posts about clunking and that is there on hard bumps but this is a metallic ringing/rattle. If I lean to the right or left it vanishes but in the turns the front doesn't load up as expected. Like a slight movement right as it loads. When I rev at a standstill it rattles. It is loud enough while riding that I can here it over my pipes and wind noise. Any insight?

I'd get a buddy and sit idle with clutch pulled in and you put a wooden dowel (large) or some object that will transfer noise from the point of contact to your ear and hold it against different points of the bike while the noise is happening.
You should be able to hear where it is the loudest as you move the ( in the old days we used a screwdriver) from place to place on the bike.
...Is it loudest in the frame? On the motor? When you touch the primary? Etc
