Default Help with some chatter (video)

Howdy y'all,
I have an 06 street Bob with SE stage 1 intake, Samson pipes, Vance and Hines fuel pak, progressive shocks.

I went out riding a few days ago and the bike began making some new noises. You can hear in the videos the metallic chirp coming from around the starter. I have no idea if it is the starter but that seems to be the point of origin.

The bike still shifts normal, starts normal, and is fine in all other respects... It just sounds like a box of loose bolts coming down the road.

It chatters most at startup and does it intermittently at operating temp.

I know better than to take it in saying "I don't know what's wrong it sounds funny." Just want some opinions here. There are no loose bolts that I can see and no FOD.

I topped off the turn signal fluid and lubed the muffler tips, but no resolution was found.

Help a noob out! Links below

Thanks,
hunter

No thoughts? AC condenser maybe? Motor mount?

After probing around with a stethoscope, I found it was my exhaust heat shields. I have Samson BG3 pipes and found this gem toward the tailpipe. There is another broken weld up towards the flange too. Now to find someone who will weld aluminum... guess I wont ride this weekend.
