Default Squaling sound

2010 Road King. I have a squealing sound that only happens when you left off the gas. If you pull in the clutch or accelerate it goes away. Brought to HD and they said it was my exhaust. Bike runs good otherwise. Any ideas?

Check for loose heat shields or exhaust connections. Why didn't HD fix it if they knew it was the exhaust?
