Default Dropped the bike on gravel, what to look for?

Oh sh*t!

I dropped the bike on gravel outside my garage. Scratches on the right foot peg, right side grip and of course some on the exhaust.

Looks like it was foot peg, handlebar grip and exhaust that touched the gravel and is the only visible damage.

I can not find anything loose at all, no leaks or anything just the scratches but you know how your mind starts shaking things up and my mind just can't get settled now.

I now hear a 'rattling' sound at some RPM's which I don't know if it was there before. It is at the moment where you put it in next gear and just before it has gotten the RPM's up a bit. Same thing on decelerate when engine braking. Sound like the normal lifter noise but with some added 'rattling', like somethings just loose and a little "shake" in the handlebars. I just don't know if this was there before or not, am I imagining things?

Please share what I should be looking for?

Make sure you check your exhaust heat shield clamps and flange nuts as they could have been loosened by the exhaust hitting the ground.
