TBagger, that's exactly what the problem was, The X pipe bracket was rubbing the footboard.
Thanks guys! Ride safe.

I chased chirping for what seemed like months. All I could tell was that it came from the left side... and finally I was on a long stretch of straight road in a quiet area and I could tell that it seemed to be coming from the left side. I also calculated the wheel revolutions at a given speed and figured out that the chirp was perfectly timed with the wheel.

I still didn't find anything until one day I was laying on the floor under the bike and noticed that some of the 'treads' on my belt were fractured. (The belt looked fine on the 'outside' of the belt). New belt, chirp gone.

Good luck.

I agree with the exhaust hanger rubbers. I keep a extra set because it is annoying. They go on a certain direction also so look before you remove the old ones.
