I'm stumped....
Here's the deal, I've developed a bell like sound in the fork area
. I've found no loose bolts, nothing loose in the head light housing. At first I thought it was a SS cable hitting something, so I zip tied them. No change. Happens mostly over bumps. Would a broken spring cause this? I'm unable to duplicate the sound by tapping a screw driver against various components. Any experience or help would be appreciated. Have not gone to the stealer yet as I trust you folks a hole bunch more. Thanks in advance. Geez

Thanks for all your responses folks. I found it. Although I bounced the tool bag around seeing if it made contact with anything, it never made a sound. As I stated I tapped on everything. No bell sound. The one thing I didn't tap on was the front fender....what a melodic sound it makes. Turns out the bag had enough give in the straps that on a bump it would in fact make contact with the fender creating that bell sound. Moved bag, went for a ride, problem solved. Duh! Sometimes it's just too simple. Glad it wasn't expensive. Ya all are the greatest. Geezer
