Default Clicking Not motor

2007 Ultra. 55K miles. Thought was motor but after listening more I get a click, click, clicking sounds after about 5 miles. Seems to get louder. I "think" it is coming from the front wheel. Stops when I stop so can't be motor. Anybody have any idea what it could be or how to check? I was thinking maybe speed cable or wheel bearing. My girlfriend is worried about it. I hate to pay HD if it is nothing serious.

Check the clamps on your heat shields, one might be coming loose?

Put it up on a lift & spin the wheels put it in gear to check speedo cable.

Does it sound like a pebble hitting the fender?

I don't believe there is a speedometer cable, since the introduction of the ECM.
