Default Clutch noise

I just got a Rivera Pro Clutch from Dennis Kirk.
After it was done being installed the clutch makes a weird rattling sound coming from the primary.

I got this clutch

I think it might be coming from the Variable Pressure Plate Assembly, but I'm not sure.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue before. I have only rode the bike down the street but it was pretty annoying. I can only imagine what its like on a long ride.

I have a 2009 FXDB.

I had a shop do it. The guy that installed it has been working on bikes for years. He even put the bike on the lift to show me what he thought was causing the sounds, but he was not sure on how to stop the pressure plate from making that noise.
