Default clicking sound

Being a new dyna owner and not much of a mechanic I dont know where this sound is coming from. Cleaning out the garage trying to make room for both bikes and the wifes car was pushing sb around and when pushing forward just heard like a light tapping/clicking sound. Only when pushing is forward not backwards. Didnt hear anything from the streetglide when pushing. Is this sound just normal.

Don't think it's normal, have someone try to listen where it's comin from while you roll it forward.

+1 noise paranoia.

I had a clicking noise that I realized was a missing rubber stopper for my jiffy stand. Sh*t like that will drive you nuts!

When I saw the title of this, my initial thought was the front brake. The vented holes make a clicking noise when applying the brakes.

Good thing you figured it out, though. I was going to ask if you had baseball cards clothspinned onto the frame, sticking in the spokes, to give it that "motorcycle" sound.

I like how this forum usually gets a problem solved, before a thread gets derailed with jokes.
