Default Noise when warm

I have a chirping or rubber squeak when the bike is warmed up. Sounds like it is up front on right side but cannot pin point exact location. Usually when I am at 30 -40 mph when I hear it when I hit a bump. Checked all bolts up front, all seem tight. Any help would be appreciated.

Check the rear muffler hanger/rubber hanger. My road king had a chirp and it was a boogered up rubber isolator with the metal chirping away.
