Banging noise.
OK, when I hit a bump in the road on my 1993 Heritage Classic I'm getting a banging noise coming from under or somewhere in the bike towards the rear not the engine. It's like something has broken or is loose. I'm aware of pretty much everything it could be but before I start tearing the *** end apart I'd like to hear from someone who has had a similar experience and what they found out it actually was.

1/2 dozen could be's, you'll just have to do the time in to find out which it is. This is like asking a doctor over the phone what kind clap you caught from a hooker in Thailand..
In all seriousness I'd check the shock mounting bolts to see if one is loosening up, that will give you a hard knock.
