Default tin like noise when shift into 1st

When sitting at a light in neutral then shift into 1st to take off, i hear this tin like rattling noise for a second then as i accelerate and just before i shift at a higher rpm i hear the rattling noise again. i cant tell if its coming from the heat shields or the shift linkage area. i do have one striped hose clamp that holds on the front cylinder exhaust heat shield. it tightens up but not super tight before screw starts spinning. i have a 2008 fat bob with 16k on its stock engine. anybody ever hear this. bike seems to run great.

I have the same noise if that makes you feel any better. I checked everything and it all seems like its ok so Ive just learned to ignore it.

I had the same noise and it was the heat shield hitting one part of the exhaust. I wrapped a piece of heat resistant tape on the spot and noise gone.

that makes feel a little better.. Yeah. bikes runs great but that noise drives me nuts sometimes. Only does it when sitting in neutral then shifting into first and then shifting into 2nd and 3rd. then if i lay on the gas real good i dont hear it anymore. go figure. Just started this year. never heard it before
